Abstract

Furnaces for Materials Processing in space as well as on the ground perform according to one or more of the three heating principles:

  • Isothermic heating (for redistribution of components/dispersions/bubbles in a metallic matrix, nucleation and transport studies)

  • Gradient heating (for directional solidification/Bridgman-Stockbarger-crystal1ization)

  • Zone heating (for zone refinement/-crystallization)
