Preparation of Fe-based and Pd-based metallic glassy particles with a diameter of around 500 μm were investigated. Firstly, we measured the critical cooling rate of Pd

20 metallic glass and our results showed that its critical cooling rate was about 0.4 K/s. Pd-based metallic glassy spherical particles with fully amorphous structure were successfully prepared by heating the samples on the Al
2O
3 substrate up to their melting points and cooling under the cooling rate of around 3 K/s. In contrast, [(Fe

4 metallic glassy particles cannot be prepared by the same process. This seemed to be caused by a reaction between the Fe-based metallic glass and the Al
2O
3 substrate around its melting point. This result suggested that containerless solidification method is expected to be used to prepare Fe-based metallic glassy particles. We successfully prepared mono-sized spherical particles of [(Fe

4 metallic glass by Pulsated Orifice Ejection Method (POEM) as an ideal process for Fe-based metallic glasses.
