Recent Status and the Future Scope of the Study of the Diffusion in Melts with High Melting Point with the use of Microgravity Environment

Abstract

The diffusion in melts with high melting point was discussed from the phenomenological point of view. For the study of the diffusion in such melts, the microgravity environment provides an ideal experimental field due to the absence of convection. A review was given for the previous studies of diffusion in such melts under microgravity. Finally a scope in future of diffusion study under microgravity was presented.
