Abstract
The adhesion of strain gauges (SGs) onto the underlying spring element plays an important role not only during the fabrication of the SG sensors but also for the final performance of the sensors. A novel and facile method for the evaluation of the adhesion strength of SGs is proposed, tested, and validated in this paper. In comparison with the traditional peel tester method, this method demonstrated both higher reliability and efficiency, especially from an industrial manufacturing point of view. The five-grade adhesion strength, with adhesion strength decreased from Grade 1 (G1) to Grade 5 (G5), results were corroborated by the classical pull-out adhesion testing method with satisfactory consistency and can be employed in the quick evaluation and monitoring of the adhesion strength. The easiness, convenience, and reliability of the method promises a great potential application in the industrial testing and manufacturing of SG sensors.
