Abstract:
To solve the current problems with thin-film thermocouple signals on turbine blades in ultra-high temperature environments, this study explores the use of a through-hole lead connection technology for high-temperature resistant nickel alloys. The technique includes through-hole processing, insulation layer preparation, and filling and fixing of a high-temperature resistant conductive paste. The through-hole lead connection preparation process was optimized by investigating the influence of the inner diameter of the through-hole, solder volume, and temperature treatment on the contact strength and surface roughness of the thin-film for contact resistance. Finally, the technology was combined with a thin-film thermocouple to perform multiple thermal cycling experiments on the surface of the turbine blade at a temperature of 1000 °C. The results show that the through-hole lead connection technology can achieve a stable output of the thin-film thermocouple signal on the turbine blade.

Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
