Fibre laser cutting: the use of carbon-filled acrylic as a qualitative and quantitative analysis tool (2018)
Journal Article
Atiyah, H., Powell, J., Petring, D., Stoyanov, S., & Voisey, K. (2018). Fibre laser cutting: the use of carbon-filled acrylic as a qualitative and quantitative analysis tool. Journal of Laser Applications, 30(3), Article 032009. https://doi.org/10.2351/1.5045349

The use of carbon filled black acrylic (CFBA) as a quantitative and qualitative analytical tool for fibre laser cutting is investigated. In the qualitative work CFBA targets placed below the laser cutting zone when cutting stainless steel showed a d...

The role of a thermally sprayed CuNiIn underlayer in the durability of a dry-film lubricant system in fretting: a phenomenological model (2018)
Journal Article
Barman, K., Shipway, P., Voisey, K., & Pattinson, G. (2018). The role of a thermally sprayed CuNiIn underlayer in the durability of a dry-film lubricant system in fretting: a phenomenological model. Tribology International, 123, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.triboint.2018.03.018

Dry film lubricant coatings (DFL) are employed to reduce friction and damage in highly loaded contacts. Metallic underlayers, e.g. CuNiIn, can be beneficial however, there is no detailed explanation of the mechanism. This work investigates the effect...

An investigation into whether the laser drilling capabilities of a 2kW fibre laser can be enhanced using pulse train shaping (2018)
Journal Article
Markcoons, D., & Voisey, K. (2018). An investigation into whether the laser drilling capabilities of a 2kW fibre laser can be enhanced using pulse train shaping. Lasers in Engineering, 39(1-2),

In long, ms, pulsed melt ejected based laser drilling of metals pulse train shaping has previously improved drilling efficiency. This work investigates if pulse train shaping can be exploited in the laser drilling of 0.8-2 mm mild steel with a 1070 n...
