The pulsed wire discharge (PWD), as one of the applications of pulsed power technologies, has been successfully applied to nanosized powder production. In this paper, preparation of aluminum nitride and copper nanosized powders were carried out by PWD. The average particle size of copper and aluminum nitride were 46 nm and 32 nm, respectively. The ratio of the production mass of powders to the electrical energy consumption was tens to hundreds of g/kWh. Thus, PWD is a very efficient and promising method to prepared nanosized powders.
