ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION Hollow metal microspheres for manufacture of superior high strength light weight structural materials are described. The microspheres are made by forming a liquid film of molten film forming metal composition across a coaxial blowing nozzle and applying a blowing gas at a positive pressure on the inner surface of the metal film to blow the film and form an elongated cylinder shaped liquid film of molten metal. A transverse jet directs an inert entraining fluid over and around the blowing nozzle, which produces asymmetric fluid drag forces on the elongated molten metal cylinder and closes and detaches the cylinder from the coaxial blowing nozzle, the cylinder then forming into a spherical shape by surface tension forces. Quench nozzles direct cooling fluid at the molten metal microspheres to rapidly cool and solidify them. The hollow metal microspheres may contain a thin metal coating deposited on their inner wall surfaces by appropriate selection of blowing gas. The metal microspheres can be used to make improved insulation materials and insulating systems or can be used as filler materials in plastics or rubber or compositions thereof or in metal compositions.
