Accurate temperature measurement needs in both research and industry have become more demanding and traditional temperature measurement technologies are struggling to keep up. Optical fiber thermometers have many unique advantages and are an option with much potential in the area of high temperature measurement. Research shows that fiber optic temperature sensors are capable of making accurate and precise measurements in a wide range of harsh conditions where other measurement technologies cannot and are a cost effective option in situations where traditional measurement technologies are currently used. Several typical high temperature fiber optic sensors are discussed in detail, focusing on the principle of operation, advantageous characteristics, and recent research developments, with the aim of aiding in further work with fiber optic thermometers.

Ceramics, such as Al2O3 and SiC have numerous current and potential uses in applications where high temperature strength, hardness, and wear resistance are required often in corrosive environments. These materials are, however, highly anisotropic and brittle, so that their mechanical behavior is often unpredictable. The further development of these materials will require a better understanding of the basic mechanisms controlling deformation, wear, and fracture.The purpose of this talk is to describe applications of TEM to the study of the deformation, wear, and fracture of Al2O3. Similar studies are currently being conducted on SiC and the techniques involved should be applicable to a wide range of hard, brittle materials.

In recent years an increasing emphasis has been placed on the study of high temperature intermetallic compounds for possible aerospace applications. One group of interest is the B2 aiuminides. This group of intermetaliics has a very high melting temperature, good high temperature, and excellent specific strength. These qualities make it a candidate for applications such as turbine engines. The B2 aiuminides exist over a wide range of compositions and also have a large solubility for third element substitutional additions, which may allow alloying additions to overcome their major drawback, their brittle nature.One B2 aluminide currently being studied is cobalt aluminide. Optical microscopy of CoAl alloys produced at the University of Missouri-Rolla showed a dramatic decrease in the grain size which affects the yield strength and flow stress of long range ordered alloys, and a change in the grain shape with the addition of 0.5 % boron.
