MC-1 Metal Ceramic Thermocouple Protection Tubes
For casting, MC-1 thermocouple protection tubes are a unique blend of metal and ceramic, exhibiting properties not found solely in either individual material. MC-1 tubes offer high thermal conductivity and excellent sensitivity to temperature changes in high-temperature applications.
Not recommended for use in molten aluminium or glass, carbonizing or nitriding atmospheres, cryolite, or copper alloys above 1149°C (2100°F )
Advantages
- Excellent oxidation resistance
- Resists wetting by many metals and alloys, and basic furnace slags
- Resistant to oxidizing atmospheres over 1204°C (2200°F)
- Good wear resistance and resistance to sliding friction
- Good strength at temperatures up to 1538°C (2800°F)
- Low porosity prohibits gas ingress
