Attaching a thermocouple to the surface of an AL2024 plate
Attaching a thermocouple to the surface of an AL2024 plate
(OP)
I am trying to attach a thermocouple on the bottom surface of an AL2024 plate, basically I a going to drill some holes in my sample and I need to place the thermocouple as close as possible to the hole , i.e. very close to the hole perimeter to measure the temperatures.
any suggestions of which is the best way to do that ?

Depends on the details of what you're up to.

Personally for this application now that temps are known the MikeHalloran hole/peen method is what I would use. simple

Therefore I'd want to use an IR camera as it would provide the entire picture.
The IR camera can be emissivity calibrate using the aluminum plate heated to the same sort of temperature range. The thermocouple might help with the calibration step.
The value of an IR camera depends on the exact purpose of all this...

I thought if I can attach the thermocouple as close as possible to the hole exit I could get an approximate temperature of tool-workpiece interaction.
