Alloys manufactured in space benefit from a weightless environment
This environment enables the formation of an alloy’s structure to be driven by diffusion as described by Brownian motion, rather than gravity driven sedimentation.

 

Applications

Manufacturing of materials and other products that is not possible under the influence of gravity.
