An experimental investigation is presented of the various cutting performance measures, such as the kerf taper and depth of cut, in profile cutting on an 87 per cent alumina ceramic by abrasive waterjet (AWJ) over a wide range of process parameters. It is found that the taper angles on the two kerf walls produced in cutting AWJ of profiles are different in magnitude and exhibit different trends as the profile curvature radius varies. Moreover, the depth of cut increases with an increase in the curvature radius and approaches its maximum in straight cutting. The other process variables affect the cutting process in a way similar to that in straight cutting. Recommendations are finally made for the selection of process parameters in AWJ profile cutting of alumina ceramics. Predictive mathematical models for the major cutting performance measures that are essential for the optimization of the AWJ cutting process are reported in the subsequent part of this investigation.

Model Predictions

Predictive models for the major cutting performance measures, such as the kerf taper and depth of cut, are developed for both straight-slit cutting and profile cutting by an abrasive waterjet. The plausibility and predictive capability of the models are assessed and verified by comparing the model predictions with the corresponding experimental data. Very good correlations between the predicted and experimental results have been found, which confirm the adequacy of the models for use in process planning.

Awj Cutting

The cutting performance in abrasive waterjet (AWJ) multipass cutting with and without controlled nozzle oscillation is presented based on an experimental investigation cutting an 87% alumina ceramic. The cutting capacity in terms of the depth of cut and the kerf geometrical features is analyzed with respect to the process variables. It is found that multipass cutting is a viable means to increase the cutting performance and application domain of this technology, while a further increase in the cutting performance can be made by using a controlled nozzle oscillation technique.

Increasing the performance of the abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting technology for engineering materials is the ultimate aim of research in this field. This paper presents a review on the studies using a controlled nozzle oscillation technique to increase the cutting performance of the AWJ cutting technology and the associated mechanisms primarily based on the work in the author’s laboratory. Primary attention is paid to the discussions of the depth of cut, the effect and selection of process parameters and the advantages by using this technique in both single- and multi-pass cutting modes.

Jet Impact

Abrasive water jet machining is considered as a promising technique in hard and brittle material processing. This paper studies the erosion performance of the alumina ceramics in the different process parameters. In the erosion experiments, alumina ceramics wafers were eroded by the abrasive waterjet machining. The single factor experiments were carried out to understand the effect of different process parameters (jet impact angle, standoff distance, water pressure, abrasive particle diameter) on the material removal rate (MRR), the removal depth and surface roughness (Ra). The experimental results can provide guidance for alumina ceramics abrasive water jet cutting and polishing.
