The classification of tungsten-rhenium thermocouples

The classification of tungsten-rhenium thermocouples.

our country listed in the national standard of tungsten-rhenium thermocouples has two kinds:

1, 5 - tungsten rhenium Tungsten-rhenium 26, it is the name of the anode components in containing 5% 95%, rhenium, tungsten cathode nominal composition of containing 74%, 26% rhenium tungsten. Index number of WRe5 - WRe26, abbreviated: W - Re5/26。

2, and 3 - tungsten rhenium Tungsten-rhenium 25, it the name of the anode components in containing 3% 97%, rhenium, tungsten cathode nominal composition of containing 75%, 25% rhenium tungsten. Index number of WRe3 - WRe25, abbreviated: W - Re3/25。

the use of tungsten-rhenium thermocouples. Measuring temperature above 1600 ℃, the non-contact method is adopted, however, the method of error is bigger, such as contact law can accurately measure the true temperature. In high temperature thermocouple, thermocouple is expensive and precious metals * high temperature can only be under 1800 ℃, and tungsten rhenium thermocouple temperature measurement not only high ceiling, and good stability, therefore, tungsten-rhenium thermocouples in metallurgy, building materials, aerospace, aviation, and nuclear power and other industries are widely used. Tungsten resources in our country, the tungsten-rhenium thermocouples cheap, can partially replace precious metal thermocouple, it is very promising in the area of high temperature test of temperature measuring materials.

temperature. It's * high temperature can reach 2800 ℃, but, when higher than 2300 ℃, scattered data. Therefore, the use of * to a temperature of 2000 ℃ or so.

using the environment atmosphere. Tungsten-rhenium thermocouples are easily oxidized, suitable for use in dry inert or hydrogen, or with dense protection tube separate it with oxygen. Cannot be used for carbon atmosphere ( As used in the atmosphere containing hydrocarbons, a temperature over 1000 ℃ or corrosion) 。 Tungsten or tungsten rhenium easy to generate stable carbides in carbon atmosphere, so that to reduce its sensitivity and cause the brittle fracture, the presence of hydrogen, will accelerate carbonization.
