Atomization is normally accomplished using a high pressure gas to break up liquid stream through a nozzle. Droplets can also be formed by the spinning of a liquid stream off of a disc, causing molten droplets to form and undergo centrifugal acceleration away from the center of spin. The droplet will subsequently solidify during flight.
