Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A corrosion sensor includes an insulating substrate, a thin film of a first metallic material formed on the substrate; and an array of areas what includes a second metallic material provided at the surface of the thin film. A method for manufacturing such a sensor is also disclosed. An exemplary embodiment is disclosed in which the thin film is patterned to define a number of tracks, the resistance of which can be monitored in order to determine the degree to which the thin film has corroded.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A corrosion sensor comprising: an insulating substrate; a thin film of a first metallic material formed on the substrate, the thin film constructed and arranged in a ladder-like configuration including a plurality rung-like features; an array of separate areas comprising a second metallic material, positioned on the plurality of rung-like features; a plurality of electrical terminals defined by the thin film for monitoring electrical resistance o…
