Further, if the rotational speed is excessively high, regenerator particles having an aspect ratio exceeding 2 are likely to be formed, so the upper limit of the rotational speed is preferably 11000 rpm.
- the molten metal 12 struck by the disk-shaped rotating body 10 is rapidly cooled in an argon atmosphere. If the atmosphere is an argon atmosphere, contamination of impurity gas components (oxygen and nitrogen) can be prevented. If nitrogen is used as the inert gas, it reacts with the molten metal, so nitrogen cannot be used as the cooling chamber atmosphere. For the same reason, atmosphere is not possible.

In order to repel the molten metal 12 smoothly and uniformly, it is preferable to preheat the rotating disk 10 to a temperature of 800 ° C. or higher in advance. In addition, although the upper limit of preheating temperature is not specifically limited, 1000 degreeC is preferable. As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating disk 10 may be provided in the cooling chamber 9. Therefore, if the preheating temperature is excessively high, the inside of the cooling chamber 9 becomes high, and the rapid cooling process of the molten metal 12 becomes insufficient. There is a fear.

- the rotating disk 10 is preferably made of ceramics.
- the diameter of the rotating disk 10 is preferably in the range of 20 to 100 mm. If the diameter is less than 20 mm, the rotating disk is small. Therefore, if the positioning is not performed accurately when the molten metal 12 is supplied, the molten metal 12 may directly fall without hitting the rotating disk 10. In particular, when the collection container 15 is provided at the bottom of the cooling chamber 9, it is necessary to pay attention because the processed product becomes defective. On the other hand, when the diameter of the rotating disk 10 exceeds 100 mm, when the rotating disk 10 is preheated, the disk retains too much heat, which heats the inside of the cooling chamber 9 and may adversely affect the cooling process. is there.

Since the rotary nozzle 21 may be provided in the cooling chamber 9, if the preheating temperature is excessively high, the inside of the cooling chamber 9 may become high temperature and the rapid cooling process may be insufficient.
- the diameter of the rotary nozzle 21 is preferably in the range of 10 to 50 cm.
