The Coupled Growth in Hypermonotectic experiment is scheduled to fly on the International Space Station during UF-3 and is designed to obtain a fundamental understanding of the physics controlling solidification processes in hypermonotectic (immiscible) alloys. The first of three major experimental goals of the project is to demonstrate that steady state coupled growth and the production of an aligned fibrous microstructure is possible in these systems. The second goal is to determine the influence of alloy composition and growth rate on the microstructural features of the alloys. The last major experimental goal is to map out the compositional and growth rate limits of steady state coupled growth. Microgravity processing conditions are necessary to obtain this information which will be utilized for verification and modification of models for monotectic solidification that are being developed as part of the project. This paper discusses the justification for carrying out these experiments and the results obtained from an initial segment of the investigation during the Life and Microgravity Spacelab mission in 1996. .
