Other experiments were designed to test the benefits of weightlessness on industrial processes. An isothermal heating oven melted samples of metals such as nickel and molybdenum to a temperature of 1,600°C to test a technique for creating stronger alloys, while a mirror-heater was employed to grow ultrapure crystals, which could someday benefit the microchip industry...
