Undercooling of pure metals in a containerless, microgravity environment
- 1. Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37235
Description
The 105-m drop tube at NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center has been used in a series of undercooling experiments on pure metals. Ti, Zr, Nb, Mo, Rh, Hf, Ta, and Pt were undercooled 17--20% of the melting temperature in a containerless, microgravity environment. Ir and Ru were undercooled to 13% T/sub m/. Sample sizes ranged from 175 to 880 mg
