Reactive metal granules, especially of magnesium and/or magnesium alloys are produced directly from molten metal. The metal is fed under pressure to a granulation nozzle which forces the metal to aquire a circular motion of increasing velocity before it reaches the outlet of the nozzle and disintegrates successively into small fragments and droplets. These fragments and droplets are formed in an i...
