Fabrication of Amorphous Metallic Glass in Space (FAMIS) – Vit106 Cross-Section (As-Cast, 1g, and μg)

Microgravity samples have similar W distribution to as as-cast samples but much more porosity. Samples processed in 1g have the lowest porosity but also sedimentation of W and W2Zr phases. Experiment has worked as expected (except for the porosity). These images give us some information about manufacturing metal alloys in space.
