Abstract:
An immersion device is provided for molten metal, as well as a method for making steel. The immersion device allows a trouble free operation. The immersion device includes a measuring head, a carrier for the measuring head, and a lance detachably connected to the carrier, preferably by a detachable tubular connecting element. A gas path runs from the lance to the detachable tubular connecting element. A gas tight connection is provided between a connecting surface of the lance and the detachable tubular connecting element. The tubular connecting element has wipers in the form of fins, which wipe the connecting surface of the lance during attaching and/or detaching the tubular connecting element and the lance.
Abstract:
A sampling device for molten metals includes a carrier tube having an immersion end and a sample chamber arranged in the carrier tube. The sample chamber has an inflow conduit. The inflow conduit has an inflow opening inside the sampling chamber and an outer open end which is surrounded by a protective cap. The protective cap has a metallic body with an inner side directed toward the inflow conduit and an outer side. A layer of a material is arranged at the outer side of the metallic body. The material comprises a compound which decomposes and forms water vapor if immersed in molten steel, molten iron or molten slag.
Abstract:
A sampler has a sample chamber for a sample forming from a molten material, at least one lower cooling body, at least one upper cooling body, at least one inner cooling body, and at least one filling part. The sample chamber is surrounded jointly at least by the lower cooling body and the inner cooling body, such that at least the sample chamber can be cooled by at least the lower and inner cooling bodies. The filling part merges into the sample chamber by a filling opening. Between a region of the outer surface of the inner cooling body and a region of the outer surface of the upper cooling body opposite the outer surface of the inner cooling body, the sampler has at least one gap for conducting at least one gas. The volume of the respective cooling bodies is larger than the volume of the gap.

Abstract:
A device is provided for measuring parameters or for taking samples in molten iron or steel and for taking samples of slag resting on the melt. The device includes a carrier tube having an immersion end, a lateral circumferential surface, and a measuring head arranged on the immersion end. At least one sensor or inlet opening for a sample chamber present inside the device is arranged at the immersion end of the measuring head. The lateral circumferential surface of the carrier tube or measuring head has an inlet opening extending through an inlet channel to merge in a pre-chamber arranged inside the carrier tube or measuring head. The pre-chamber has, at its end facing away from the immersion end, an entry opening that merges into a slag sample chamber on the side of the pre-chamber facing away from the immersion end.
Abstract:
A measuring probe is provided for taking measurements in molten metal or slag, the probe including a measuring head having an immersion end and a rear end. At least one electrochemical sensor, one thermocouple, and one bath contact of the electrochemical sensor are arranged at the immersion end, and the thermocouple and electrochemical sensor each protrude from the immersion end adjacent to each other. The bath contact is formed from a strip of metal arranged around and between the thermocouple and the electrochemical sensor in appropriate manner, such that two chambers are formed that are open at the immersion end. The thermocouple is arranged in one chamber and the electrochemical sensor is arranged in the other chamber and both are held by fixation material.
Abstract:
A sampler is provided for melts, in particular for slags lying on a molten metal, the sampler having a single- or multi-part body for arrangement in a support. The sampler has an inlet and a sample chamber with two opposing chamber walls, wherein an inlet opening is arranged in one chamber wall. In order to make possible homogeneous and stable samples, an intermediate plate with at least one through opening is arranged inside of the sample chamber spaced from the chamber walls.
Abstract:
An electrical resistor has a resistance layer containing platinum or a platinum group metal, which is applied to an electrically insulating surface of a substrate, wherein the resistance layer is constructed as a thin layer element and is made of a physical mixture of finely dispersed ceramic and metal. Preferably, the ratio of finely dispersed ceramic to metal lies in a range of about 5 to 50% by weight. Preferably, the finely dispersed ceramic is selected from SiO, Sio2, Ta2O5, MgO, Al2O3, and mixtures thereof. The resistor is used as a reference resistor in a sensor (temperature sensor) together with a temperature-dependent measuring resistor, wherein both resistors are arranged on a common substrate.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board has a conductor path applied to a substrate having an electrically insulating surface, the conductor path preferably being constructed in the shape of a meander and containing connection areas with holes to which small contact plates are applied for the purpose of later bonding with connection leads. The small contact plates are applied in a hard soldering process with the aid of solder paste to the connection areas of the conductor paths and to the surface area of the substrate surface which is made of ceramic and exposed by the holes. It is consequently possible, dispensing with so-called bonding wires, to directly connect connection leads or bonding lugs electrically with the conductor path and mechanically with the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is preferably designed as a measuring resistor, wherein the conductor path is applied as a resistance layer of platinum or platinum group metal in a thin film process to a small ceramic plate of aluminum oxide. The small contact plates are preferably made of nickel or a nickel-iron alloy, whereby a good stability results at high temperatures.
Abstract:
A method is provided for processing mineral-insulated conduits, in particular for stripping the insulation from and/or severing mineral-insulated conduits, wherein a mineral-insulated conduit is constructed of at least one wire or band-shaped electrical conductor, a mineral powder and a metallic sheath tube having a wall thickness a. The problem arises, in reference to the known disadvantages of the prior art, to make available an improved method for processing mineral-insulated conduits. This problem is solved by a method where the sheath tube is processed on at least one radial processing line using laser cutting, and starting from the radial processing line, the sheath tube is processed on at least one axial processing line using laser cutting. The mineral-insulated conduit is then treated with ultrasound.
