Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the titled metallic electrode which can be put in high-temperature flames directly and used stably for a long period by composing it of an Fe-Cr-Al alloy within a specific composition range, and heating a flame inserting part previously in an oxidation atmosphere and forming a protection coating of Al2O3 on the surface. CONSTITUTION:The electrode 4 for a frame sensor is made of the Fe-Cr-Al alloy consisting of 3-8wt% Al, 18-28wt% Cr, and the balance Fe and the flame inserting part of the electrode 4 is heated in an oxidation atmosphere, e.g. in air at about 1,000 deg.C for about 20hr to form the protection coating of Al2O3 on the surface to about 5-100mum thickness. Consequently, good workability is obtained and the long-life flame sensor electrode 4 which is not carburized even in high- temperature reducible flame 3 and used stably also maintains high temperature corrosion resistance and conductivity is obtained. Further, this is usable without trouble even when the Fe-Cr-Al alloy contains a normally contained microelement and a small amount of rare earth element such as Zr, Ti, and Nb for characteristic improvement.

[Detailed description of the invention] l) Purpose (1) Field of application of the invention When a metal electrode is inserted into the flame of a gas burner, oil burner, etc. and an alternating current voltage is applied between the burner and the electrode, the flame passes from the electrode. Although a weak current flows through the flame, the flame can be detected by measuring this weak current. The reason why this weak current flows is that a small amount of ions dissociated in the high-temperature flame move to the electrodes, and the rectifying action in the flame causes the current to flow as a direct current.

These alloys exhibit excellent high-temperature corrosion resistance in the air or in an oxidizing atmosphere, but when used at high temperatures in a reducing atmosphere, they carburize and react with constituent components such as Cr'pat, forming carbides, resulting in poor corrosion resistance. to degrade.
