Traditional methods to measure temperatures in real time, such as thermocouples or pyrometers, are sometimes not suitable and an alternative must be sought. Thermal history sensors record the maximum temperatures reached during operation, which can then be measured after the engine has cooled down. Currently, temperature sensitive paints are mainly used to obtain temperature profiles on gas turbine components but they present some limitations such as subjectivity of the measurement, poor resolution and toxicity.

The GTMS provides crucial on-line thermal process control information during the manufacturing of galvanneal steel. The system has been used with the induction furnaces to measure temperatures ranging from 450 to 700°C with an accuracy of better than +/-5°C. The GTMS provides accurate, reliable temperature information thus ensuring a high quality product, reducing waste, and saving energy. The production of uniform, high-quality galvanneal steel is only possible through strict temperature control. * Prepared by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, 37831•8058, managed by Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corporation, for the U.

Allisona) Engineering Technology Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37831-7280 G. T. Gilliesb) Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22901 ~Received 12 July 1996; accepted for publication 8 April 1997! The temperature-dependent characteristics of fluorescence of several rare-earth-doped ceramic phosphors has made these materials the focus of a major effort in the field of noncontact thermometry over the past few decades. These ‘‘thermographic phosphors,’’ e.g., Y2O3 :Eu, have been used for remote measurements of the temperatures of both static and moving surfaces, and have performed many other tasks that standard sensors ~thermocouples, thermistors, etc.! cannot. The range of usefulness of this class of materials extends from cryogenic temperatures to those approaching 2000 °C. The instrumentation needed for this type of thermometry has followed many different lines of development, and this evolution has produced a wide variety of both field- and laboratory-grade systems that are now described in the literature. In general, the technique offers high sensitivity ('0.05 °C), robustness ~e.g., stability of the sensor sample in harsh environments!, and NIST traceability. In addition, such systems have been successfully adapted to make remotely sensed measurements of pressure, heat flux, shear stress, and strain. In this review, we summarize the physical mechanisms that form the basis for the technique, and then catalog and discuss the instrumentation-related aspects of several different remote thermometry systems that employ thermographic phosphors as the sensors. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

For turbine engines, oxide coatings are of great commercial importance, and the rapid motion of parts prohibits contact thermometry. Luminescence thermometry offers a number of advantages for measuring temperature in such systems and has been the subject of ongoing study for many years. Recent work on rare- earth-doped thermal barrier coatings, environmental barrier coatings, and related oxides has demonstrated the feasibility of luminescence thermometry to temperatures well in excess of 1000◦C. The luminescent properties of these materials and the analytical techniques used to extract reproducible temperature measurements from the measured luminescence are reviewed.

  • Depth-Selective Diagnostics of Thermal Barrier Coatings Incorporating Thermographic Phosphors
    DEPTH-SELECTIVE DIAGNOSTICS OF THERMAL BARRIER COATINGS INCORPORATING THERMOGRAPHIC PHOSPHORS Jeffrey 1. Eldridge and Timothy J. Bencic Stephen W. Allison and David L. Beshears NASA Glenn Research Center Oak Ridge National Laboratory Cleveland, OR 44135 Oak Ridge, TN 37831 KEYWORDS Thermal Barrier Coatings, Thermographic Phosphors, Temperature Measurement ABSTRACT Thermographic phosphors have been previously demonstrated to provide effective non-contact, errussivity-independent surface temperature measurements. Because of the translucent nature of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), thermograpruc-phosphor-based temperature measurements can be extended beyond the surface to provide depth-selective temperature measurements by incorporating the thermograpruc phosphor layer at the depth where the temperature measurement is desired. In this paper, thermographic phosphor (Y20 3:Eu) fluorescence decay time measurements are demonstrated for the first time to provide through-the-coating-thickness temperature readings up to lOOO°C with the phosphor layer residing beneath a lOO-/-lm-thick TBC (plasma-sprayed 8wt% yttria-stabilized zirconia). With an appropriately chosen excitation wavelength and detection configuration, it is shown that sufficient phosphor errussion is generated to provide effective temperature measurements, despite the attenuation of both the excitation and errussion intensities by the overlying TBC. This depth-selective temperature measurement capability should prove particularly useful for TBC diagnostics, where a large thermal
