Microstructure Evolution and Thermoelectric Property of Pt-PtRh Thin Film Thermocouples
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to their small size, extremely fast response, and low cost, refractory metallic thin film thermocouples (TFTCs) are well suited for the surface temperature measurement of hot components. In this study, PtRh films with different amounts of Rhodium (10% and 13%) were deposited with direct current magnetron sputtering and annealed at different temperatures in air. The chemistry, microstructure, and resistivity of the films were investigated. Type S (Pt10%Rh-Pt) and type R (Pt13%Rh-Pt) TFTC were fabricated on alumina substrates. Rhodium segregation at the surface of PtRh film was observed, and the variation of the thermoelectric properties of TFTCs was discussed based on the chemistry and microstructure of PtRh films.

Preparation and Thermoelectric Characteristics of ITO/PtRh:PtRh Thin Film Thermocouple
Thin film thermocouples (TFTCs) can provide more precise in situ temperature measurement for aerospace propulsion systems without disturbance of gas flow and surface temperature distribution of the hot components. ITO/PtRh:PtRh TFTC with multilayer structure was deposited on alumina ceramic substrate by magnetron sputtering. After annealing, the TFTC was statically calibrated for multiple cycle...
متن کاملMixed thick/thin-film thermocouples for thermoelectric microgenerators and laser power sensor
This work presents the fabrication of thermopiles with high output voltage. A series of mixed thick/thin-film thermopiles were performed – one of the arms of the thermocouples was screen-printed (PdAgor Ag-based thick-film layers), the second was made of magnetron sputtered semiconductor (compositions based on Ge). The output parameters (thermoelectric force ET [V], internal resistance Ri [Ω], ...

متن کاملMetallic and Ceramic Thin Film Thermocouples for Gas Turbine Engines
Temperatures of hot section components in today's gas turbine engines reach as high as 1,500 °C, making in situ monitoring of the severe temperature gradients within the engine rather difficult. Therefore, there is a need to develop instrumentation (i.e., thermocouples and strain gauges) for these turbine engines that can survive these harsh environments. Refractory metal and ceramic thin film ...
