Current efforts in modern materials development and materials design are directed towards improving the physical and chemical properties of advanced materials and the efficiency in casting and materials solidification processing. Considerable interest is focused on producing new materials that combine the different properties of various phases and substances within one solid piece of matter. These materials are known as composites and are the subject of this MAP project. Two groups of composites are considered. First, multiphase materials consist of at least two different phases of varying properties; they can be produced as in situ composites via peritectic solidification routes. Second, two-material composites, which contain both metallic elements as a matrix with particles of ceramics dispersed homogeneously so that the different properties of a metal (such as ductility) and a ceramic (such as high yield strength) are combined within one material. Earth's gravity imposes severe restrictions on the production of such composites from the liquid state.
