Summary
Scientists back on Earth have used data from the experiment to produce a niobium-silicon alloy that meets the stringent requirements of industrial applications for the first time. This breakthrough could revolutionise aerospace technology.
The microgravity environment has allowed Chinese scientists to observe unprecedented phenomena, including a unique shrinkage pore structure during the alloy’s rapid solidification. These discoveries have deepened the team’S understanding of the physical properties of niobium-silicon alloy, leading to more practical and efficient production methods.
