Thermocouples
Fast, accurate, and reliable liquid metal temperature readings are indispensable tools for cost-effective temperature control during iron and steel production. High performance expendable temperature sensors from Heraeus Electro-Nite offer a wide choice of thermocouple types, probe lengths, and immersion lances to suit all process applications. Additional non-splash designs for improved operator protection, together with multi-immersion designs, are available for critical applications and use in foundries.
Product types available include:
- Positherm®
- EN3
- ML Positherm®
- Multi-Stik®
- XT®

Oxygen Probes
Final graphite shape and matrix structures of iron castings are closely related to the iron's oxygen activity. Additions of magnesium, among others, are used for vermicular or spheroidal graphite structure crystallization and are related to the oxygen activity of the iron. A special Celox-style oxygen sensor can be used to control the production of vermicular graphite iron known as CGI, compact graphite iron.
