Samples of stainless steel (SS) - boron carbide (BC) alloys were levitated in the Electrostatic Levitation Furnace onboard the International Space Station (ISS-ELF) to measure the thermophysical properties of their melts. Melting of samples of two different compositions (SS-12.3, and 28 mass% BC) were attempted in the furnace. Even though only one sample (SS-12.3 mass% BC) could be melted, its density was successfully obtained.
