Abstract: A soft magnetic alloy powder comprises a component having a compositional formula ((Fe(1?(?+?))Co?Ni?)(1??)X1?)(1?(a+b+c+d+e))BaPbSicCdCre in atomic ratio. X1 comprises at least one selected from specific elements. Values of a, b, c, d, e, ?, ?, and ? of the compositional formula satisfy specific ranges. The soft magnetic alloy powder comprises soft magnetic alloy particles including soft magnetic alloy particles having a particle size of (0.95×D90) or more and (1.05×D90) or less. An average Wadell's circularity of the soft magnetic alloy particles having the particle size of (0.95×D90) or more and (1.05×D90) or less is 0.75 or more. A variance of Wadell's circularity of the soft magnetic alloy particles having the particle size of (0.95×D90) or more and (1.05×D90) or less is 0.035 or less.

Abstract: A soft magnetic alloy powder comprises first particles to fifth particles, each having a particle size within a specific range. Among the first particles to the fifth particles, nth particles have an average particle size xn (?m), an average circularity yn, and a variance zn of circularity, where nth is any ordinal number from first to fifth. Points (xn, yn) (n=1 to 5) plotted in an xy plane define an approximate straight line having a slope “my” of ?0.0030 or more. Points (xn, zn) (n=1 to 5) plotted in an xz plane define an approximate straight line having a slope “mz” of 0.00050 or less.

Abstract: A metal powder producing apparatus includes a molten metal supply unit, a cylinder body, and a cooling liquid introduction unit. The molten metal supply unit discharges a molten metal. The cylinder body is capable of being formed with a layer of a cooling liquid for cooling the molten metal on an inner circumference surface of the cylinder body. The cooling liquid introduction unit supplies the cooling liquid to an upper inside of the cylinder body. The inner circumference surface of the upper inside of the cylinder body has a substantially elliptical shape.
