have you ever seen nonferrous matter incorporated into molten iron so
homogeniously as the silicates in this material - when the incorporated
stuff has only about 40% the density of the iron it's self? not saying it
cant happen - i'd just be really surprised if it was easy. As adam said you
can suspend a piece of lead shot in a block of ice - but try and evenly
distribute a very low density material in something of high density while
you freeze it - at almost 3000 degrees and i'm sure it wont be as easy.
