Hi
Does anyone know what kind of thermocouples can measure temperature of molten metal particularly Aluminium.
Someone suggested me about K-type thermocouples. Do i need to make a refractory coating around.
Is it capable of measuring the temperature at the metal mold interface??
and does it actually need to penetrate the molten metal.
Please Advice......

Thanks for the link Cam1 It is really helpful.
I use K type thermocouples. I stick it right into the molten metal to take a reading. Mine have lasted quite a few melts already without going bad.
