Abrégé

A detection device for molten metal is provided. The detection device includes a sample cup having a cavity configured to receive a sample of molten metal and a blob arranged in the cavity. The blob includes a carbide stabilizing element and a hydrogen releasing material including a hydroxide of an alkaline earth metal. The blob is provided for use in detecting phase change temperatures during solidification of a sample of molten cast iron. The blob is also resistant to moisture gain and moisture loss during transport and storage. A method of detecting phase change temperatures of the molten iron or molten cast iron sample using the blob and a method of manufacturing the blob are also provided.

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.

A sensor arrangement for melted materials includes an upper part and a detachable lower part. A tube extends coaxial to a longitudinal axis of the lower part, is closed on its end facing away from the upper part, and is open on the other end. The tube is arranged on an immersion end of the lower part facing away from the upper part. A guide tube, extending coaxial to a longitudinal axis of the upper part and being open on both ends, is arranged in a guide sleeve. A pressure acting in the direction of the lower part is applied to the guide tube by an elastic body and the guide tube touches against the lower part. One opening of the guide tube and the open end of the tube of the lower part are arranged adjacent to each other and coaxial to the longitudinal axis of the lower part.

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.
