Good afternoon, Readings from thermocouple fixed by kapton tape only are inaccurate. This is the fact. At least you need to fix thermocouple with aluminum tape covered by kapton tape. Pete C is right. High temperature solder connection is a preferre

The aluminum material is typically plated by a zincation process, followed by nickel plate and a gold flash layer. What do the soldered side of the component and the soldered side of the aluminum coin look like? Do they both take solder?

Copper has CTE of 17 which I think is closer to FR4 than Aluminum - 23, so in this aspect should be better. However, copper oxidizes very easily and is also 3 times heavier.

I have to ask this because "Material is applied over bare aluminum" doesn't make sense to me. Is that some kind of electrically insulative black anodization on the board surface? Because if it's just bare aluminum, how is the entire circuit not sho

The thermocouples were attached with a square of aluminum tape holding the probe to the part joint. Kapton tape was used to secure the aluminum tape to the board surrounding but not covering the probe. We are using a X5 KIC profiler with the 2G sof

Would you by chance be soldering copper to aluminum?

You are absolutely correct on the aluminum table. I spoke to quickly I guess.

I think Joseph is referring to Kapton tape. We use aluminum tape secured with a piece of Kapton.
