Space levitation processing allows researchers to conduct benchmark tests in an effort to understand the physical phenomena involved in rapid solidification processing, including alloy thermodynamics, nucleation and growth, heat and mass transfer, solid/liquid interface dynamics, macro- and microstructural evolution, and defect formation. Supported by ground-based investigations, a major thrust is to develop and refine robust computational tools based on theoretical and applied approaches. This work is accomplished in conjunction with experiments designed for precise model validation with application to a broad range of industrial processes.
空间悬浮处理使研究人员能够进行基准测试，以了解快速凝固过程中涉及的物理现象，包括合金热力学、形核与生长、传热与传质、固/液界面动力学、宏观和微观结构演变以及缺陷形成。在地面研究的支持下，一个主要目标是基于理论和应用方法开发和完善强大的计算工具。这项工作是与旨在进行精确模型验证并应用于广泛工业过程的实验相结合完成的。
