Method and device for analysing samples of metal melts

摘要

The method involves taking a sample from a molten metal i.e. cast iron or steel, using a sampler comprising a sample chamber (3). The sampler is constructed as an immersion lance (2) for transporting the sample from the sampler through a transport conduit (6) to sphere of action of an analytical device i.e. spectrometer (7), and analyzing the sample at sphere of action by the analytical device. The sample is transported through the transport conduit by action of vacuum or inert gas i.e. argon, on the sample. A portion of the sample chamber is removed to expose a surface of the sample. An independent claim is also included for a device for analyzing samples of molten metal.
