The interaction of ceramic particles with a dendritic solidification front was investigated by comparative solidification experiments in reduced gravity and under terrestrial conditions. Inductive melting of Ni 98 Ta 2 samples containing Ta 2 O 5 particles under gravity induces strong forced convection, which hinders the engulfment of particles in the dendrite stem. Comparative experiments in reduced gravity lead to a drastic decrease of forced convection. That enables the entrapment of Ta 2 O 5 particles during rapid propagation of Ni 98 Ta 2 dendrites.
