Abstract: A method for improving the heat resistance of a resistive element embedded in an alumina deposit covering a surface of a substrate, in which the alumina deposit includes a surface portion and a deep portion which is sandwiched between the surface portion and the surface of the substrate and in which the resistive element is located, is provided. The method includes a densification of the surface portion of the alumina deposit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the heat resistance of a resistive element embedded in an alumina deposit covering a surface of a substrate, the alumina deposit comprising a surface portion and a deep portion which is sandwiched between the surface portion and the surface of the substrate and in which the resistive element is located, which method is characterised in that it comprises a densification of the surface portion of the alumina deposit. Field of application: any field in which an evaluation of the deformation of mechanical parts intended to be exposed to very high temperatures, by means of resistive elements of the strain gauge type, is necessary, and in particular the design of engine parts in the aeronautics field of the turbine blade type.
