Abstract
Al-Pb-Bi monotectic alloys were processed by using an automatic directional solidification furnace (ADSF) which was specially designed for a KC135 aircraft during a high- and low-G pallaboric flight. Characterization of the alloys were performed by the methods of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and superconductivity measurements.
