The sensor not only can be used as normal oxygen sensor but also as an ultra-low oxygen sensor. Especially, it is very sensitive to measure ultra-low oxygen in molten metal. For estimating the accuracy of La beta -Al2O3 oxygen sensor, two series of oxygen activities in molten iron at different oxygen contents and different temperature were measured by both La beta -Al2O3 oxygen sensor and ZrO2 oxygen sensor. The theoretical values of oxygen activities in molten iron (3.30%C, in mass fraction) at 1723K and 1745K were also evaluated for comparing the measuring results of two sensors. At last, the error of measurement for La beta -Al2O3 oxygen sensor was discussed too.展开更多

Its chemical formula was verified by the Ag ion molten salt exchange method and X-ray fluorescence analysis （XRF）. The chemical formula of β- A12O3 is Na2O·8.52A12O3, and its crystal is of hexagonal, space group P63/mmc, with a = 5.5941 A and c = 22.5300 A. The chemical formula of β-Al20 is Na2O·6.03A12O3, and its crystal is of trigonal, space group R3m, with a = 5.6017 A and c = 33.6219 A. The maximum span in the sodion migration of β-phase （2.4283 A） is only about a third of that for the β-phase （6.9037 A）, so the β-phase has higher ionic conductivity than the r-phase.展开更多
