More powerful than that. Think molten metal going everywhere or vaporizing into the air.

  What happens to the vaporized metal after things cool down? Does it become dust?

    It becomes a metal oxide - don't breathe it. Basically it's powered rock, rocks are made of metal oxides.

      So basically the metal is going back to its original form. You might also call it accelerated rust.

All of it freezes on contact with solid surfaces, often the eyes and exposed body parts of the victims.
