Thermal Conductive Analysis of Wax Carver.

A study was carried out on the analysis of thermal conductiveness of wax carvers by means of the two-dimensional finite element method.The results obtained were as follows:1. A comparison of the temperature at the tip of the 1 mm width and the 2 mm width waxcarvers revealed that changes in the temperature occured more rapidly in 1 mm width wax carversthan 2 mm width wax carvers.2. Thermal changes at the tip of wax carvers showed that as the heat moved to the tip of waxcarvers, thermal changes became faster. When the heating area is far from the tip, thermal changeswere seen to be slow.3. In both types of wax carvers, when heat was applied up to 10 mm from the tipof the head, the entire head was found to become uniformly the same temperature.4. A comparison between when both heads were heated at the same temperature andwhenthey were both heated at different working temperatures while wax covered was conducted. It wasseen that the working temperature of the 2 mm width wax carver lasted longer than that of the 1 mmwidth wax carver.5. According to the result we obtained, it was concluded that it is necessary to choose a waxcarver which has been heated from the 10 mm range to the tip of the wax carver and can maintainthe proper range of working temperatures for the specific purpose encountered.
