Maybe I'll just build a small ball mill myself and stock it with some 1/2" steel balls. hmm, just another project to put in the list.....
I could really see all these little bits of metal clogging up a radiator They would have to be ground EXTREMELY small and sifted through tiny screens to ensure their size. Anyone have access to equipment like this?

Extremely Small is an understatement.
Particles this small cannot be made by any pulverising technology. This idea only works if you have particles of only a few nanometres across. Any larger than this and you get problems of coagulation and sedimentation.
