Abstract
The powder formation mechanisms in the centrifugal emulsification process which has recently been developed as a new powder making process were studied. The increment of total suface energy of metallic liquids due to shape change from a bulk to droplets was assumed as resulting from the drag force by the filter. The calculated mean size of powders agrees relatively well with that of the experiments. In order to build a exact theoretical model, effects of liquid convection on powder making process as well as the surface energy changes due to the powder shape change were considered.
