| Description | The scientific objectives of the work on Particle Engulfment and Pushing by Solidifying Interfaces (PEP) include: (1) to enhance the fundamental understanding of the physics of interaction between inert particles and the solidification interface, and (2) to investigate aspects of melt processing of particulate metal matrix composites in the unique microgravity environment that will yield some vital information for terrestrial applications. The proposal itself calls for a long-term effort on the Space Station. This paper reports on ground experiments performed to date, as well as on the results obtained from two flight opportunities, the LMS mission (1996) and the USMP-4 mission (1997). |
