This study investigates optimal parameter setting in abrasive waterjet machining (AWJM) on aluminium alloy AA 6351, using taguchi based Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) is been reported. The water pressure, traverse speed and stand-off-distance were chosen as the process parameters in this study. An L9 orthogonal matrix array is used for the experimental plan. The performance characteristics which include surface roughness (Ra) and kerf angle (KA) are considered. The results indicate that surface roughness and kerf angle decreases, with increase in water pressure and decrease in traverse speed. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) illustrates that traverse speed is the major parameter (89.7%) for reducing surface roughness and kerf angle, followed by water pressure (5.85%) and standoff distance (2%) respectively. The confirmation results reveal that surface roughness reduced by 16% and kerf angle reduced by 47%. Furthermore, the surfaces were examined under scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) for a detailed study

Machining of fiber reinforcement polymer (FRP) composite without any defect is extremely challenging when using conventional processes. This mainly due to its inherent anisotropic, heterogeneous, thermal sensitivity, and highly abrasive of nature of fiber reinforcement. Therefore, a kind of non-conventional machining process namely abrasive waterjet machining (AWJM) was endeavoured as it has been reported to be able to machine or cut almost any material included composites. In fact, previous research only provides partially desired parameters on machining these materials and mainly focuses on plain FRP composite. Therefore, this research attempted to evaluate the significant AWJM process parameters comprehensively on the main machinability output on the hybrid FRP composite. 2k factorial design and statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied to determine the performance of trimming process regarding surface roughness and delamination (entrance and exit). Experimental results revealed that the surface roughness was affected by the stand-off distance, abrasive flow rate, traverse rate rather than hydraulic pressure. Similar findings as to that of surface roughness were also observed for the top and bottom delamination damage.

Abrasive waterjet machining (AWJM) has a particularly high potential for the machining of stainless steels. One of the main optimization objectives of the machining of X2 CrNiMo 17-12-2 stainless steel is obtaining a minimal surface roughness. This entails selecting an optimum configuration of the main influencing factors of the machining process. Optimization of the machining system was achieved by intervening on four selected input quantities (traverse speed, waterjet pressure, stand-off distance, and grit size), with three set points considered for each. The effects of modifying the set-points of each input parameter on the surface roughness were studied. By means of response surface methodology (RSM) the combination of factor set points was determined that ensures a minimum roughness of the machined surface. The main benefit of RSM is the reduced time needed for experimenting.

Abrasive waterjet machining is one of the non-traditional methods of the recent years which found itself a wide area of application in the industry for machining of different materials. In this paper, the surface roughness of 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys are being cut with abrasive waterjet is examined experimentally. The experiments were conducted with different waterjet pressures and traverse speeds. It has been found that the surface roughness obtained by cutting material with high mechanical properties is better than that of obtained by cutting material with inferior mechanical properties.

The research involves experimental study on precision machining of hybrid composite stacks using Submerged Abrasive Waterjet Machining (SAWJM) process. In this study, an in-house fabricated SAWJM setup is used to machine a stack of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Titanium. The effect of critical parameters including stand-off distance and abrasive grain size on the size of the cavity machined during SAWJM and Abrasive Waterjet Machining (AWJM) processes are studied. The study found that SAWJM process is capable of successfully machining CFRP/Titanium composites with high precision. The machined surface is free of thermal stresses and did not show any delamination or cracking around the edges. The study suggested that the stand-off distance and abrasive grain size has significant influence on the machining process. The cavities machined on both CFRP and titanium during SAWJM process are smaller and more circular than that produced during AWJM process. The results of this study provide deeper insight into precision machining of hybrid composite stacks.

Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) is one of the most developed non-traditional machining processes. It is generally used to cut difficult to cut materials like composites. The present study is focused on machining of carbon fiber vinyl ester composite with AWJM. The effect of process parameters namely water pressure, standoff distance and traverse speed on surface roughness and kerf tapper is studied. Design of experiment is done by using Taguchi L16 orthogonal array. It is observed that water pressure is the most significant parameter followed by traverse speed. It is found that with the increase in water pressure and decrease in traverse speed of AWJM, surface roughness and kerf tapper of machined samples decreases.
