    Description: Four specimens identified as SL-1.3, SL-1.8, SL-1.9 and SL-2.5 were submitted for metallurgical characterization. These specimens had been processed in the M512 Facility as a part of the M553 Sphere Forming Experiment performed during the Skylab 1/2 flight. Three of these specimens, SL-1.3, SL-1.8, and SL-2.5 were designed to be melted completely by the electron beam and detach themselves from their support posts and resolidify while floating free in the near zero gravity and vacuum environment of space. Specimens SL-1.3 and SL-1.8 were completely melted, but it is believed they did not leave their posts before solidifying. Specimen SL-2.5 was only partially melted. Specimen SL-1.9 was to be completely melted and retained on a large sting which was accomplished as planned. The nominal composition of the four specimens was: (1) SL-1.3 - Ni 12% Sn; (2) SL-1.8 - Ni 30% Cu; (3) SL-1.9 - Pure Ni; and (4) SL-2.5 - Pure Ni. These four specimens have been examined according to the Phase B Characterization Plan. The results are discussed and compared with similar characterization analyses run on ground base specimens.

    Description: Both processed nickel-copper alloy specimens apparently completely melted by the electron beam in the Skylab M512 materials processing facility and either floated free in space, but collided with some smooth flat surface before solidifying, or remained attached to its support post during solidification. Both specimens had a smooth flat area on the surface due to this adherence during solidification. The nominal composition of the alloy before processing in space was 70 percent Ni and 30 percent Cu. Tests show that a considerable amount of copper was lost during processing by evaporation. It was further found that less copper was present in the cap areas, particularly at the surface, than was in the remainder of the specimens. The microchemistry of the dendrites and interdendritic regions, however, is in agreement with the phase diagram for this alloy. The measured densities of these specimens were less than the theoretical density of the alloy due to the amount of porosity present, however, no large voids were found by radiographic techniques.
