  12. Experimental System Selection 149

  13. Charges # 2,6 Selection of the Experimental System Three different alloy systems were examined experimentally: • SCN – acetone • Acetone readily forms bubbles and is not desirable since • bubble formation can lead to fluid flow in a low gravity • environment. • SCN - salol • As the solute layer of salol builds-up, the solution loses its • clarity when viewed from the liquid side. • SCN – water • Water did not show any problems, and is desirable since • it is the major impurity in SCN. 150

  16. Charge # 2 Safety Considerations • Succinonitrile has been used in several flight experiments, • including the IDGE, MOMO and PFM experiments. NASA • has reviewed the safety of SCN and approved its use for other • flight experiments. No safety problem 153

  19. Charges # 2,6 Validation of Liquidus Line The liquidus temperature was obtained by measuring steady-state cell tip temperature (Tt) and using the relationship: TL = Tt + GD/V. 156

  20. Charges # 2,6 Estimate of Solute Partitioning Coefficient Two experimental parameters were measured: Critical velocity for planar interface instability was measured, which is given by Vc = GD/DT0, where DT0 is the freezing range for linear liquidus and solidus lines. Measurements of dendrite tip radius with velocity. VR2 = D/kT0* =Const. Combining the above results: k = (/*) (V/G)c /(VR2 ) k was estimated to be 0.03. 157

  27. Charges # 2,6 Experimental Observations and Measurements • Microstructure map for cellular and dendritic • microstructures as a function of V, G and C. This study • in thin samples was done to establish experimental • conditions for experiments on ISS. • Time required for the initial instability of a planar • interface. This is crucial in determining the length of • the run and the frequency of image capturing. • Measurements of primary cellular/dendritic spacing, • and cell/dendrite tip radius as a function of V, G and • C. The focus of this study is to obtain critical length • scales that will be measured from the experiments on • ISS. This range of length scales is required to establish • optical resolution required. 163
