Abstract
Using a previously established non-stationary thermal model it is possible to calculate the distribution of temperature and thermal stresses in emf sensors based on stabilised ZrO2 which are frequently applied for the measurement of oxygen activity in steel melts. The model may provide a basis for optimised construction of these sensors. The preheating behaviour is in the first step characterised for the sensor itself and in the second step for the complete one-reading measuring device.
