Containerless processing techniques eliminate physical contact with container walls and enable improved chemical purity over more conventional techniques. Acoustic, aerodynamic, and electromagnetic containerless processing technologies have been developed, evaluated, and applied in experiments at Intersonics. Incorporated and in other laboratories This has resulted in an advanced understanding of these technologies and significant experimental data on a variety of high temperature systems. The operational characteristics and capabilities of several experimental techniques and systems developed at Intersonics are presented. Results of experiments performed using these techniques are also presented.
