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.
