Analysis of Voltage and Temperature Distribution for Polycrystalline Diamond Synthesis

Abstract

A computational model to analyse the synthesis process of carbonado type synthetic polycrystalline diamond was performed through numerical simulation. In this model it is possible to analyse the voltage, the electrical power and the temperature distribution for different construction designs in both steady and nonsteady states. The simulation results allowed an understanding of the influence of the design on the temperature profile as well as the effect of increasing voltage in the temperature distribution during the process.
