In order to accurately detect the temperature of molten aluminum and overcome the adverse influence of high temperature and corrosiveness on the sensing results, a temperature detection system based on a multi-node sapphire fiber sensor was proposed and developed. Through the structural parameter design of the fiber sensor, the scheme of utilizing the 0.7 mm diameter fiber and 0.5 mm groove was formulated. Simulation and analysis were carried out to determine the ultrasonic response distribution of the signal passing through the whole fiber sensor. The results indicate that the system is capable of distinguishing test signals from various positions and temperatures. Following the completion of the static calibration, the temperature of the molten aluminum was observed in real-time, and the data of the temperature measurements conducted at the two groove locations were compared. According to the obtained results, the test accuracy was greater than 1 degree Celsius and the temperature test stability was good, laying a solid foundation for the potential development of temperature measurement devices.
