Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a method for producing an atomized metal powder with a high rate of amorphization by water atomization. [Solution] A method for producing an atomized metal powder with an amorphization rate of at least 90% by jetting high pressure water that collides with molten metal that is falling in the vertical direction to fragment the molten metal and form metal powder and cooling said metal powder, wherein: the collision pressure when the high pressure water collides with the molten metal is set to be at least 20 MPa; and the temperature of the molten metal and/or the temperature of the high pressure water is adjusted so that the high pressure water is in a subcritical state or a supercritical state at the surface of collision with the molten metal.
