Publisher's Synopsis
Focuses on containerless processing as a tool in the study of high temperature phase relations, solidification, and thermophysical properties in both metallic and ceramic systems. The book is a collection of papers from the 1993 TMS Annual Meeting held in Denver, USA in February, 1993.;The book features: a review of experimental facilities and reduced gravity platforms for containerless experimentation; self-rectifying electron beam melting technique; undercool-rapid quench processing of hard magnetic materials; laser spectroscopy diagnostics for containerless processing; influence of rapid solidification and aging on clustering in Cu-Ni; containerless processing of ceramic superconductors; electromagnetic and float-zone methods for high-purity silicon solidification.
