Induced capillary breakdown of solid and hollow jets of molten metals, alloys, and salts with a melting temperature up to 1600°C is studied by experiment. Granulation technology is developed and specimens of solid and hollow monodispersed granules are obtained. Granules of lead and rare-earth metals have found application in cryogenic technology. Other areas for the use of monodispersed granules are considered.
