    Abstract: A method of improving the measurement accuracy of digital ice rate sensors (20) by providing an enhanced surface finish on magnetostrictive oscillator detector probes, further comprising a method of statistical process control, comprising the steps of:
    measuring external surface roughness on each of the magnetostrictive oscillator detector probes and at least one parameter of a metal plating bath, wherein the at least one parameter is selected from the group consisting of bath temperature, soak time, and chemical concentration, and wherein the measuring occurs on at least a sample of the magnetostrictive oscillator detector probes;
    recording the external surface roughness and the at least one parameter;
    evaluating a series of the external surface roughness and the at least one parameter; and
    determining a trend in the series.

    Abstract: A detector includes a scoop portion (102). The scoop portion (102) includes a top surface (104) extending continuously from a forward tip to an aft end, a bottom surface (110) opposite from the top surface (104), and a receiving portion therebetween. The bottom surface (110) includes an aperture. The top surface (104) includes a detent formed therein opposite from the aperture across the receiving portion. The detent is configured and adapted to receive at least a portion of a sensor. A method includes additively manufacturing a scoop portion (102) and brazing a strut portion to the scoop portion (102). The scoop portion (102) includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a receiving portion therebetween.

    Abstract: A method of improving the measurement accuracy of a digital ice rate sensor (20) by providing an enhanced surface finish on a magnetostrictive oscillator detector probe (22) by measuring the surface roughness of the detector probe (22), comparing the measured value to a critical value, and authorizing the probe (22) for use in the digital ice rate sensor (20) if surface roughness is within the critical value. Surface roughness may be measured optically or with a surface profilometer. Remedial steps taken if surface roughness is not within the critical value include reworking the probe surface finish and investigating the manufacturing process.

    Abstract: An ice detection sensor apparatus (100) includes a strut body (102) extending along a longitudinal axis (A). The strut body (102) includes an axially extending wall (104) extending around the longitudinal axis (A) to surround an interior space (106), and an axial-facing end wall (108) connected to an axial end of the axially extending wall (104). The axial-facing end wall (108) partially bounds the interior space (106). A magneto strictive oscillator sensing element (118) extends from the interior space (106), through the axial-facing end wall (108). The sensing element (118) is engaged to the axial-facing end wall (108) for oscillation along the longitudinal axis (A) relative to the axial-facing end wall (108). A permanent magnet (PMG) element (122) is integral with, e.g., monolithic with, the strut body (102).
