Author:Masina, Bathusile N; Bodkin, R; Mwakikunga, Bonex W; Forbes, ADate:Aug 2011This paper presents an implementation of a laser beam shaping system for both heating a diamond tool and measuring the resulting temperature optically. The influence the initial laser parameters have on the resultant temperature profiles is ...Read more
Author:Masina, Bathusile N; Mwakikunga, Bonex W; Elayaperumal, M; Forbes, A; Bodkin, RDate:Jul 2011At present it is known that diamond tool degrades with time as it is normally used at high temperatures. One of the question the authors like to answer in this study is whether thermally induced problems in diamond tool arise as a result of ...Read more
