Thermocouples easily installed in hard-to- get-to places

Abstract

Thermocouple wires attached to charged capacitors are inserted in a drilled hole. An electric charge fuses the thermocouple wires to the host material. This method has shown excellent results in fusing nichrome, chromel, Inconel, and stainless steel wires to nickel, beryllium, iron, steel, Inconel, and stainless steel
