Alumina ceramic is widely used as a thermocouple protector or engineering ceramic in harsh environments due to its high-temperature stability, chemical inertness, and low thermal conductivity. Because alumina is prevalent in high-temperature equipment, it is useful to understand its Raman properties to enable temperature measurement via Raman spectroscopy in these harsh-environment systems. In this paper, we report temperature mapping on the surface of high-temperature alumina ceramics via Raman spectroscopy. The ceramics studied were as cast (unpolished) to approximate use in high-temperature industrial applications. Temperature calibration equations were generated covering the range from room temperature to ~1000°C. The most accurate mathematical temperature relation used the Raman line shift of the most intense Stokes A1g peak at 418cm-1. The average standard deviation of the Raman temperature measurement was less than 5°C over the entire experimental temperature range. This method will provide accurate non-contact surface temperature measurments in harsh environments where thermal radiation and variable surface emissivity contributes significant error to simpler infrared thermometry.
