| abstract |
The invention relates to a thermoelectric element, in particular thermocouple, and to a method for the production thereof. The thermoelectric element is formed with two thermo-legs, each formed of a different metal, which overlap in a region, preferably a temperature measuring point, and are otherwise electrically insulated from one another. Each of the thermo legs is connected at its end remote from the area via contact wires and / or electrical conductors with a voltmeter or an electrical power source. The thermo legs are formed with sintered metals, each with a metal content of at least 50% by mass directly on a surface of a component or an electrically insulating layer formed on a surface of a component. |
