Notes:
A new technique to measure wear and profile of impregnated diamond drill bit for mineral exploration is presented. A three-dimensional surface mapping of worn diamond drill bit surface is obtained by the laser triangulation method. With adequate algorithms all relevant data can be obtained. Consequently, the volume loss between two distances cored can easily be measured with a great precision. Moreover, computerized cross sections of the worn surface give relevant information about the profile resulting from the drilling process.
