SPHEROIDIZATION METHOD AND APPARATUS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In preferred form, the inventive concept utilizes arc-spraying metalizers wherein two metal wires maintained at a difference of potential are fed into an arc gun which positions the wires for contact at a point, such contact generating intense electrical heat sufficient for fusion to be produced as a result of the current flow through the wires at the area of resistance forming the point contact, causing a globule of molten wire to be formed. A jet of non-oxidizing gas is directed towards the contact junction of the wires and causes globules released by the fusing contact to be directed as droplets to a controlled atmosphere chamber wherein the molten metal droplet takes on a spherical shape, cools and solidifies. The chamber wherein the heating process occurs is completely sealed and filled with inert gas. In addition, the inner walls of the chamber are provided with a specific liquid wash curtain preventing metal particles from sticking to the chamber walls. - 1 -
