Abstract
A surface embedded temperature sensor has successfully
been fabricated on a customized industrial bolt. The
aluminum substrate of the bolt was electrically isolated
by plasma electrolytic oxidation followed by the
fabrication of a type T thermocouple and finally covered
by a wear resistant DLC coating. This bolt is part of our
work to develop smart machine parts that are capable of
reporting their current physical status under real
working conditions enabling both new tools for condition
based maintenance and information gathering for process
optimization. By adding intelligence to the surfaces of
machine parts we also reduce the need of traditional
packaging of discrete sensor components. (4 refs.)
