Capillary drop, Liquid atomization & Gas atomization

In this method, liquid metal is forced through a small orifice or nozzle in a stream of air or water & jet of liquid is broken down by blast of compressed gas. Now a day the metal is atomized by striking a rapidly rotating disc.

Example: Al, Mg, Pb, Zn, Cd & Sn
