As we speak, steel is being researched in the ISS. This concerns steel that can be used for electric motors. The quality of this steel largely determines the efficiency of motors in, for example, electric cars. This directly contributes to the energy transition. These types of steel have a complex structure that partly arises during casting. The knowledge gained from this experiment is used in the casting process to prevent errors and to achieve better steel for this application.
