CSLM 2 - Coarsening in Solid Liquid Mixtures - 2

The CSLM-2 investigation will examine competitive growth of microscopic tin particles within a liquid tin-lead matrix. The low-gravity ISS environment will produce data that can be compared directly to theory without the effects of convection and sedimentation. Twelve CSLM-2 experiments will be conducted inside the work area of the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG over the course of three supply missions.
