Abstract
Most high-temperature processes require monitoring and controlling temperature, preferably with high precision and good lateral resolution. Here we evaluate the use of the technique commonly known as phosphor thermometry, which exploits the temperature dependent photoluminescence from an inorganic phosphor, for the determination of the temperature of a composite material consisting of the metallic alloy FeCrAl dispersed with phosphor particles of yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12, YAG) doped with a small amount of luminescent Ce3+ ions (YAG:Ce3+). The results show that with some optimization and by changing the dopant ion, YAG based phosphor particles offer a unique opportunity to measure the surface temperature of metal alloys with high precision and high lateral resolution, all the way up to the maximum working temperature of alumina-forming high temperature alloys at ca. 1300 °C.
