METAL DISPERSING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B22F9/10 B22F9/14 

FIELD: metallurgy, namely systems for producing metal powders.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes housing in the form of working chamber with controlled temperature of certain portion of its wall; unit for creating gaseous medium in volume of working chamber; electric power source; at least two electrodes; unit for continuous supply of dispersed metal. Apparatus includes in addition drive unit for rotating in horizontal plane. Said unit is provided with control circuit and electric power supply system. Working chamber is in the form of built-up sleeve having outer and inner members. Inclination angle (from outside) of wall of outer member is in range 16 - 135° relative to rotation plane. Built-up sleeve is fastened by means of bottom portion of outer member with cooled shaft of drive unit for rotating in horizontal plane. Outer metallic member of built-up sleeve has turning for passing cooling agent. Inner member of built-up sleeve is made of high-temperature ceramic material and it has chamfer formed along upper edge of sleeve. Said chamfer is inclined by angle 2 - 68° relative to rotation plane of sleeve.

EFFECT: automatic sizing of discrete particles of fibers, stable production process.
