`by the contributors to its publications or by the speakers at its programs.
`
`Each issue of Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings, ISSN 0196-6219, includes a collection of
`technical articles in a general area of interest. These articles are of practical value for the ceramic
`industries and the general public. The issues are based on the proceedings of a conference. Both
`American Ceramic Society and non-Society conferences provide these technical articles. Each issue is
`organized by an editor who selects and edits material from the conference proceedings.The opinions
`expressed are entirely those of the presentors.There is no other review prior to publication.

`ABSTRACT
`Sensors for measuring the properties of molten glass require protective sensor
`sheaths in order to shield them from the extremely corrosive molten glass
`environment. MoSiz has been shown to possess excellent corrosion resistance in
`molten glass, making it a candidate material for advanced sensor sheath
`applications. MoSiz-coated A}i03 tubes, MoSiz-Ah03 laminate composite tubes,
`and MoSh-Ah03 functionally graded composite tubes have been produced by
`plasma spray-forming techniques for such applications.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`The glass industry has a critical need for advanced sensors that can determine
`properties of molten glass such as temperature, viscosity, and chemistry. Because
`molten glass is a very corrosive high temperature environment, sensors placed in
`molten glass must be protected by sensor sheaths that are corrosion-resistant to
`molten glass. Materials that are presently used for direct exposure to molten glass
`are noble metals such as platinum, refractory metals such as molybdenum, and
`refractory ceramics such as AZCS (Alumina-Zirconia-Chromia-Silica).
`For thermocouple protection sheaths, the glass industry currently uses either
`platinum tubes or platinum-coated alumina tubes for thermocouples that are
`inserted through the glass-air line. While platinum is a corrosion-resistant
`material above, at, and below the glass line, it is very expensive and its expense is
`a constraining factor on the extent of its use. Molybdenum sheaths can be
`employed fot thermocouples that are completely immersed in molten glass, but
`not for thermocouples that traverse the glass-air line, due to the poor oxidation
`resistance of molybdenum. While refractory ceramics such as AZCS possess
`good molten glass corrosion-resistance above, at, and below the glass line, these
`materials are difficult to fabricate into long and narrow thermocouple protection

`
`sheath tubes. Additionally, AZCS has very low strength and can exhibit extensive
`plastic deformation at elevated temperatures.
`MoSirbased materials show excellent molten glass corrosion-resistance both
`above and below the glass line. Unlike platinum, MoSii materials are inexpensive
`and can be readily fabricated into protective sheath tubular geometries by
`industrial processes such as plasma spraying.
`In addition,
`the elevated
`temperature strength of MoSii materials is significantly higher than that of the
`refractory ceramics. MoSi2 is also electrically conductive, while the refractory
`ceramics are insulator materials.
`Because of their combination of properties, MoSirbased materials constitute
`an important new class of materials for glass industry sensor sheath applications.
`
`MOLTEN GLASS CORROSION RESISTANCE OF MoSii
`The molten glass corrosion-resistance of MoSi2 has been characterized in an
`alkali borosilicate glass (1). The corrosion behavior of MoSi 2 in comparison to
`the refractory ceramic AZCS is shown in Figure 1, for locations above, below,

`Figure 2 shows the corrosion mechanisms that occur for MoSiz when it is
`immersed in molten glass. Above the glass-line a protective Si02 layer forms,
`while below the glass-line a complex multiphase protective layer is formed.
`flowever, at the glass-line no protective layer forms. Hence, the corrosion rate of
`l\tfoSiz is maximum at the glass-line. For any material that is immersed in molten
`glass, the m~~imum corrosio.n rate occu~s at the. glass-~ine due to the increased
`chemical activity and mechamcal convect10n at this locat10n.

`
`MoSiz-COATED AJi03 TUBES
`Sensor sheaths for glass furnace temperature sensors and for other types of
`furnace sensors such as video monitoring systems operating inside the glass
`furnace require a tubular geometry for the sensor sheath. MoSiz-based tubes can
`be readily fabricated by plasma spray-forming (2).
`In this process, MoSiz or
`composites based on MoSiz are plasma sprayed onto graphite or alumina tubes.
`MoSiz and Ali03 constitute a good composite system for such applications,
`since these materials are thermodynamically stable with each other at elevated
`temperatures, and possess matching thermal expansion coefficients that minimize
`thermal stresses. MoSiz-Ali03 composites may exhibit improved thermal shock
`resistance, which is desirable for sensor sheath applications.
`Advanced plasma spray techniques were employed to place MoSiz coatings on
`commercial A}i03 tubes. A Miller thermal spraying system (SG 100 Gun and two
`Model 1264 programmable hoppers) coupled to a Fanuc robotic system (S-10), an
`in-flight particle analyzer (Technar DPV 2000), and an infrared camera (Mikron
`TH 5104) were employed to fabricate the MoSiz-coated A1i03 tubes.
`A photo of a MoSiz-coated A}i03 tube is shown in Figure 3. The Al20 3 was a
`commercially available closed-end tube (998 alumina from LSP Industrial
`Ceramics Inc.) with an OD of 12.7 mm and an ID of 9.53 mm. The tube was
`coated with a 2 mm thick coating of MoSiz, over a 450 mm length of the tube,
`

`
`
`
`including the closed end. A cross-section of the coated tube is also shown m
`Figure 3.
