- Currently, when attachment is needed, most fibre optic sensors (FOS) are glued to the surface of metals, but the long-term degradation of adhesives and glues can induce errors caused by a decrease in the strain transfer as the adhesion weakens. More cost-effective techniques, better suited to a production environment are required. This paper discussed the first use of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding to achieve effective and stable FOS embedding in metals, at low cost and further evaluates and optimizes the techniques to create metal-clad Fibre Bragg Grating-based sensors (FBG) in optical fibre, for applications where ruggedized sensors are needed
