3D Evaluation

The article deals with contact and non-contact evaluation of surface roughness created by water jet cutting technology (AWJ). Non-contact surface measurement was performed using an LPM laser profilometer. The values measured by the laser profilometry method were compared with the values measured by the contact method, the Mitutoyo SJ 400 roughness meter. Six samples were produced. Three in stainless steel and three in structural steel. In order to achieve a different surface topography, different feed rates of the cutting head were used on the samples, which was reflected in the quality of the resulting surface. The evaluated parameters were the average arithmetic deviation of the assessed profile and the largest height of the profile inequality.

Laser Profilometer

The paper is an evaluation of the surface roughness of various materials produced by water jet cutting (AWJ, abrasive water jet). A 3D laser profilometer developed at the Department of Design and Technical Systems Monitoring at our University was used in roughness measurement. To verify the values measured by the laser profilometer, another measurement was performed using a 2D contact roughness meter. The tests were done on aluminum and stainless-steel materials, respectively. Six samples were produced; three made of stainless steel and three made of aluminum. All samples were produced at a different feed rate of the cutting head. This was adapted to the different roughness required, per the manufacturer’s material data sheets. Varying rates of separation translated into different qualities of the surfaces under evaluation. The evaluated roughness parameters were Ra and Rz. Dependencies were plotted in the chart based on the values measured, which were then compared and evaluated.

Water jet cutting is one of the newest techniques in non-conventional machining processes. It is a flexible technology since the same equipment can be used to cut virtually any material, such as steel stainless steel, high-nickel alloys and polymer composites (usually, for these materials, the water jet is mixed with an abrasive material, the process being known as abrasive water jet cutting - AWJC) . Compared with the classical technologies, water jet cutting presents the following advantages: very low side forces during machining, it is rapid, it is silent, no thermal distortion, a good cutting accuracy and minimal burrs. To optimize the process, it is necessary to analyze the influence of process parameters on the quality of cut. The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of distance between the cutting head and the working sample on the quality of cut, quantified by the following parameters: width of the processed surface at the jet inlet, jet outlet, deviation from perpendicularity, inclination angle and roughness.

New Construction

Quality of the technological part is one of the major problems of modern machine manufacturing. In many cases, components are manufactured from new construction materials with specific properties that are considered difficult to machining applying conventional technologies. Hence, to search for new technologies, including high-pressure abrasive water jet cutting in the context of the S355J2H steel elements manufacture, while maintaining the quality requirements of the machining, is the need. The results of tests on the accuracy of components made of S355J2H steel are presented as dependent on the water jet pressure, cutting feedrate and the amount of abrasive dozed, with constant element thickness. The accuracy of the design measure – regardless of dimensional accuracy – was the magnitude of the lateral sagging of the cut workpiece resulting from the specific mechanism of water jet removal mechanism.

Master Model

The main objective of the paper consists in remanufacturing of a part, through Abrasive Water Jet Cutting, using a method of reverse engineering based on 3D scanning. The characteristics of this process, the equipment and the main applications are presented. The research starts with manufacturing of a master model made by CFRP. This master model is a complex part cut by abrasive water jet cutting. In scanning process was used the 3D Scanner Artec Space Spider and the point cloud was processed using Artec Studio 11 software. By using this new 3D model was manufactured a new part, with the same setup. The quality characteristics (accuracy and surface quality) of this part was compared with the master model. The paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of this reverse engineering method applied on abrasive water jet cutting process.

The process of the abrasive water jet cutting of materials, supported by the theories of fluid mechanics, abrasive wear and damage mechanics, is a high-tech technologies that provides unique capabilities compared to conventional machining processes. This paper, along the theoretical derivations, provides original contributions in the form of mathematical models of the quantity of the cut surface damage, expressed by the values of cut surface roughness. The particular part of this paper deal with the results of the original experimental research. The research aim was connected with the demands of industry, i.e. the end user. Having in mind that the conventional machining processes are not only lagging behind in terms of quality of cut, or even some requests are not able to meet, but with the advent of composite materials were not able to machine them, because they occurred unacceptable damage (mechanical damage or delamination, fiber pull-out, burning, frayed edges).
