Summary:Apparatus and method for combining two or more substances comprising a chamber containing at least two molten substances to be combined, at least one of said substances being ionised. The chamber is rotated rapidly, causing the denser substance to accumulate at the periphery of the circle of rotation, under the effect of the centrifugal force. An electromagnetic field is created causing the ionised substance to move towards the periphery or centre of the circle under the electromagnetic effect. By creating an equilibrium between these two forces on the substances such that at a given point both substances have an equal chance of being at that point, and because the ions will seek to space themselves equidistantly from one another, thereby requiring the non-ionised atoms to occupy the interstitial spaces, it is possible to produce a better lattice arrangement of the atoms of said substances.
