The ThermoLab Project: Thermophysical Property Measurements in Space for Industrial High Temperature Alloys

抄録

The ThermoLab Project is concerned with the measurement of the thermophysical properties of industrial alloys in the liquid phase. The project combines long and short duration microgravity measurements based on containerless processing with an electromagnetic levitation device and a ground-based experimental programme using conventional and containerless processing techniques. An overview of the project and representative results are given.
