Nano-Al powder was prepared by wire electric explosion of different diameter aluminium wires. The results show that nano-Al powder particles appear spherical and agglomerate together, the surface was covered by Al 2 O 3 layer. The particle size of nano-Al powder obey normal distribution and the average particle size increases with the increasing of wire diameter.
