摘要： An erosion sensor that can separately monitor erosion and corrosion of a substrate, such as a wind turbine blade or a turbine blade used in devices such as gas turbines, aircraft engines, microturbines, steam turbines, and the like is disclosed. The sensor can include a first element or “erosion part” that is made of a corrosion resistant material. The first element of the sensor has similar erosion properties to the substrate being monitored. The sensor can further include a second element or a “corrosion part” that is made of a material having similar erosion and corrosion properties to the substrate. The sensor can provide an erosion indicator based on the erosion of the first element and a corrosion indicator based on the erosion and corrosion of the second element.

摘要： A microsensor for detecting corrosive media acting on a bulk metallic material when mounted in situ adjacent a location in the bulk metallic material. The microsensor includes a plurality of corrosive tracks (16; 132; 216B) exposed to the corrosive media, each said corrosive track being formed as a patterned conductive thin film track. The tracks follow serpentine paths which include a plurality of bends, at least two of which are of opposite curvature, to provide a high degree of miniaturisation coupled with accurate and reliable corrosion sensing characteristics. The corrosive tracks may be formed from an alloy material, such as an aluminium alloy, to mimic the corrosive characteristics of a bulk metallic alloy and to provide improved corrosion detection for components made from such materials at high degrees of miniaturisation.

摘要： A micropower apparatus and method for milliohm resistance detection includes a drive circuit and a monitoring circuit. The drive circuit includes a step up current transformer that is driven by a square wave oscillator via a low pass filter and voltage-driven current source. The drive circuit drives a series arranged test coupon and reference coupon, the latter being exposed to the elements. The coupons are Kelvin connected to the monitoring circuit, which includes a pair of low noise, low offset pre-amplifiers, a pair of post amplifiers connected to outputs of the pair of pre-amplifiers, a pair of full wave rectifiers connected to outputs of the pair of post amplifiers, and a pair of low pass filters connected to the outputs of the pair of full-wave rectifiers. Resistance values of the test and reference coupons can accordingly be monitored ratiometrically to determine a state of a selected environment by, for example, detecting changes in electrical resistance due to corrosion of the test coupon.
