Abstract:

A method for printing a strain sensor on a component using an aerosol ink includes depositing the aerosol ink on the component using a print head, the aerosol ink including chromium containing alloy particles; and monitoring a printing environment parameter to confirm the printing environment parameter is within a predetermined environmental range of a printing environment parameter baseline value while depositing the aerosol ink on the component using the print head.
