Fraunhofer ISC, Center for High Temperature Materials and Design HTL, BayreuthIn the field of thermoprocessing technology, it is a particular challenge to obtain reliable measurement data from inside the oven due to the high temperatures, often in combination with aggressive atmospheres. Conversely, however, it is precisely the furnace parameters such as the real temperature at the material to be heated or the composition and flow velocity of the furnace atmosphere that determine the quality of the thermoprocess and the resulting products. The corresponding high-temperature sensor technology and the furnace analysis it enables are also of central importance for the development and validation of digital furnace models and digital furnace twins. At Fraunhofer-Center HTL, a whole range of high-temperature sensors are being developed or are already being used for mobile furnace analysis.
