An Overview of the MSFC Electrostatic Levitation FacilityElectrostatic levitation (ESL) provides a means to study molten materials in a contamination-free environment, including no contact with a container. Many phenomena important to materials science can be studied in the ESL. Solidification of metals, alloys and undercooled materials represent an important topic for research in the ESL. Recent studies of metals and alloys during solidification in the ESL are reported. Measurements include time, temperature and transformation of metallic glass-forming alloys, solidification velocities, and microstructure. This multimedia report includes a video clip showing processing in the ESL, with descriptions of the different segments in the text.
