A BN crucible with blackbody cavity containing the sample (14, 17mass%BC-SS) was set in the furnace and then heated in an Ar gas atmosphere. The samples were electromagnetically levitated and completely melted, then the temperature was gradually lowered to below the liquidus temperature or below the eutectic temperature, and then quenched. The surfaces and cross sections of the solidified samples were observed by SEM-EDX, and the phases were identified by an X-ray diffractometer.
