TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT IN A CHILL MOLD BY A FIBER OPTIC MEASUREMENT METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for measuring the temperature in a chill mold using a fiber optic measurement method and a correspondingly configured chill mold. To this end, optical fibers are provided in grooves on the exterior of the chill mold copper plate, through which laser light is conducted. Using a temperature measuring system, the temperature along the measurement fibers can be determined at a plurality of measurement locations. In particular, in said method, an improved locational resolution of the temperature measurement in a chill mold is achieved relative to known temperature measurement systems using thermocouples.
