This $124,983 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Industrial Measurement Systems Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation. The contract addresses NASA's needs for advanced manufacturing, structures, and materials technologies under Technical Area TA12. Specifically, it aims to adapt ultrasonic thermometry methods to enable real-time temperature measurements during friction stir welding (FSW) of thicker panels or higher melting temperature materials, which remains challenging despite the successful use of FSW for joining thinner aluminum alloy panels at NASA-MSFC. The non-intrusive temperature sensing approach using sensors attached to the stir weld tool is intended to optimize the FSW process and ensure the production of repeatable, robust components.
