Presented is the possibility of reuse abrasive grains in abrasive waterjet cutting. The disintegration particles of garnet # 80 used to create a new abrasive garnet, corresponding to the fresh garnet # 120. In order to determine the ability of cutting recycling abrasive grains was carried out the aluminium alloy cutiing by using fresh and recycling garnet # 120. The experimental investigations of cutting surface quality focused on evaluation of surface geometrical structure.

Cut Quality

The present investigation focused on abrasive waterjet cutting (AWJC) of natural fibre reinforced nano clay filled polyester composites with the objectives of maximizing material removal rate ( MRR) and minimizing the kerf taper ( KT) and surface roughness ( Ra). The influence of nano clay addition, traverse speed (TS), jet pressure (JP) and stand-off distance (SOD) on the AWJC characteristics of fabricated composite laminates are investigated. The natural fibre reinforced composite (NFRC) laminates are fabricated through hand lay-up technique through varying the wt% of nano clay fillers (0, 1 and 2). The AWJC experiments are planned and rigorous experiments were performed by adopting box-behnken design approach. The relative consequence of process variables on response features and quadratic regression models were assessed through analysis of variance (ANOVA). Further, multiple response optimization is carried out using statistical desirability technique to enhance the cut quality characteristics. The optimal AWJC parameters such as JP of 316.24 MPa, SOD of 2 mm and TS of 304.24 mm/min with 1.15 wt% of nano clay addition are determined. Microstructure of cut surface is examined to ascertain the morphological behaviour of AWJC surfaces with different processing conditions.

Abrasive Waterjet Cutting

Abrasive waterjet cutting technology has come back into use in the field of rock excavation (such as for tunneling) due to the need for precision construction with low vibration. Because the abrasive particles play an important role in efficient erosion during the cutting process, the abrasive characteristics strongly affect the rock cutting performance. In this study, rock cutting tests were performed with five different coarse (40 mesh) garnets to explore the effect of the abrasive feed rate, physical properties, and particle size distribution on rock cutting performance. In addition, garnet particle disintegration was investigated with garnet characteristics for the abrasive waterjet. The test results indicate that the particle size distribution, garnet purity, specific gravity, and hardness are the most important parameters for rock cutting performance. This study offers better understanding of coarse garnet performance and efficiency according to the garnet characteristics. This should provide assistance in selection of the garnet needed to achieve the desired performance for hard rock cutting.

Abstract The distribution of abrasive particles in fluids is an important research topic in the study of abrasive waterjet cutting processes. However, it is impossible to obtain the accurate distribution law and influencing factors by performing only experiments; therefore, it is necessary to study abrasive waterjet cutting processes with the help of numerical models. The existing numerical models usually adopt the form of artificial settings for the distribution of abrasive particles in fluid. This method cannot accurately simulate the random distribution of particles. In this paper, the random algorithm method is used to simulate the impact azimuth and the random distribution of abrasive particles in water. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used to simulate the distribution of abrasive particles and the process of jet impingement. The influence of the particle distribution on the simulation results is studied. Comparisons show that the dent formed by the jet impinging on the target with random abrasive particles is similar to the dent from the actual cut, and the contour distribution of the dent is more uniform than that of the cut. The simulation results obtained by the SPH method are accurate.

The Impact

Abstract Abrasive particles play a vital role in the impact on materials during abrasive waterjet cutting. To study the effect of particles on the cutting performance during abrasive waterjet cutting, the mostly irregular shape of the abrasive particles in the actual cutting process needs to be considered. In this paper, the particles are simplified as angular and circular particles. The method of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to simulate the process of particle impact targeting in abrasive jet cutting. Because the abrasive particle impact causes a large local deformation or removal of the surface of the target material, the traditional grid-based numerical method is not suitable for such problems; thus, the SPH method, which is suitable for the impact problem, is selected to establish the numerical model and solve it. In this paper, the fracture process of abrasive particles with different shapes of impact ductility and brittle target materials is studied by a numerical model. In the modeling process, abrasive particles are modeled as rigid bodies with material properties, the ductile materials is an aluminum alloy, the brittle material is quartz glass, which are simulated by changing the initial input conditions and particle shape, and the model is verified by experiments. The results show that the model successfully reproduces the collision process of particles during abrasive jet cutting, including the deformation mechanisms of plowing, fracture and crushing of the target.
