<p>A method of making a strain gage transducer including the steps of fusing a glass sheet to each side of a metal cantilever beam in an inert gas, lapping the fused sheet, and bonding a silicon strain gage to each sheet by heating and simultaneously applying a positive potential to each gage relative to the potential of each corresponding sheet. Thin sheets may be employed, whereby breakage due to differential thermal expansion may be eliminated. The fusion step also is advantageous because the glass is firmly bonded to the beam. This means that the beam reinforces the fused sheets. They can, therefore, easily be lapped without fear of breakage.</p> |
