Abstract
A method of forming a conditioned isolation element for a sensor assembly comprises subjecting a preformed isolation element structure to at least one thermal annealing process to form a conditioned isolation element structure substantially less susceptible to at least one of hydrogen permeation, hydrogen-based embrittlement, and hydrogen-based stress-cracking. Conditioned isolation elements and sensor assemblies are also described.
