Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) is a promising unconventional modern machining process used to machine hard and brittle materials. This paper focuses on machining of borosilicate-glass work piece with various grits of zircon abrasives using normal and fluidised bed mixing chamber based AJM setups.The normal AJM setup is first designed and fabricated to conduct the experiments according to the Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology. Again, some modifications are made in the existing normal mixed chamber to fabricate the fluidized bed mixing chamber based AJM setup and experiments are carried out with the same input parameters on both the AJM setups. The SEM micrograph analysis is performed to study the impact-mechanism and crack-propagation due to AJM.

Polishing Tool

Hard-brittle materials can be polished by hydrodynamic suspension, which is based on the theory of sound eradiating. Owing to the high-speed rotating of the polishing tool, the polishing slurry would form dynamic pressure in the clearance between the work-piece and the tool. The dynamic pressure supplies abrasive particles the energy needed to impact on the work-piece surface, so the dynamic pressure will directly affect the machining effect. In order to obtain the steady and consistent machining quality, it’s necessary to implement the compliant control in the machining process, and adjust the dynamic pressure when needed. This paper utilizes piezoelectric ceramic micro-displacement actuating to investigate the technique that can achieve the control of micro-displacement between the polishing tool and the work-piece. It provides an effective mean for hydrodynamic slurry pressure in the hydrodynamic suspension ultra-smooth machining.

Main Factor

Powder blasting is similar to sand blasting and effectively removes hard and brittle materials. With an increase in the need for machining of ceramics, semiconductors, electronic devices and LCDs, micro abrasive jet machining has become a useful technique for micro-machining. In this study, we first investigated the effects of the blasted glass surface’s characteristics and shape under different blasting parameters; second, we examined the predictive models for material removal and surface roughness that have been developed in terms of blasting pressure, scanning speed and abrasive flow, using response surface methodology by experimental data. The established equation shows that the blasting pressure was the main factor influencing the material removal and surface roughness. In addition, analysis of variance for the firstorder model of material removal and surface roughness shows that the coefficient of determination (R2) is 99% and 98%, respectively. The associated p-value for the two models was lower than 0.01, indicating that the models are statistically significant.

Micro Grooving

According to the most of the studies dealing with micro grooving, cutting, leading to lower material removal Abrasive jet machining is traditional process. Invention was made to create those needs. A number of investigation or researches were carried out by imminent personality but no detailed information and design has provided about cylindrical vibrating chamber or mixing chamber. This change in shape gives better velocity to abrasive particles and non sticking characteristic gives the better effect of erosion of material on work piece and scattering of particle towards objects. The parameter stand off distance, variable pressure, material removal rate used for this experimental study has also moderate. The work carried out with Alumina nozzle. The abrasive powder feed rate is controlled by the amplitude of mixing chamber. The root mean square value is 0.988 in linear regression model. The estimated standard error is 0.00115 which is very less. The performance of sand gives the similar better model result as given by traditional using different parameter. The taper of cut is higher with this mixing particle and better feed rate.

As a multifunctional machine, it can provide diverse machining methods for different materials. For hard and brittle materials, it can conduct ultrasonic machining and high-speed grinding respectively or in a combined form; for conductive hard and brittle materials, electrical discharge machining with or without ultrasonic vibration could be implemented. Driven by AC servomotors, the mechanical structure of the vertical machine is mainly composed of a cross workbench for work piece handling, and a spindle head for tool feeding or high speed rotating. Besides those mentioned above, the system management program, the pulse power generator as well as the ultrasonic generator are also analyzed in this paper. Experimental results show that this machine has a wide range of application indeed and is suitable for various materials processing.

Abrasive Suspension

This paper introduces the micro-abrasive suspension jet polishing technology in precision machining technology. In order to understand the micro-abrasive suspension jet erosion morphology and material removal mechanism, the erosion experiments of micro-abrasive suspension jet on 40CrMnMo7 special steel work-piece were taken. We found that when the incident angles are 90°, 60°, 30°, the polishing area is respectively annular shape, horseshoe shape and blade shape. During the erosion process, as the incident angle becomes smaller, most amounts of abrasive particles impact angles will also be small, and these cause more material removal. When the particles impact the work-piece with small angles, most particles play shearing action on the work-piece and leave the work-piece nanoscale scratches; while the particles impact the work-piece at large angles, extrusion and blow are formed by the majority of the particles on the work-piece, leaving different small size pits.

Abstract Micro machining of conducting and non-conducting materials with high accuracy has great demand in industries especially in machining of ceramic, brittle materials. Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) has shown tremendous application especially in machining of hard and brittle materials. In the present paper drilling of soda lime glass has been carried out to determine the machinability under different controlling parameters. A set of L9 series experiments were carried out by varying process parameters such as Stand Off Distance (SOD), Silicon carbide abrasive particles mesh sizes and jet pressure. Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Radial Over Cut (ROC), were taken as the output responses and are optimised with multi objective optimisation.

A great deal of attention in manufacturing engineering has been focused on finishing operations of hard and brittle materials in recent years. This paper reports an experimental work on the analysis of surface roughness and material removal using design of experiment (DOE) method in magnetic abrasive finishing, (MAF) of flat surfaces. Change in surface roughness and material removal were found to increase with an increase in weight percentage of abrasive particles in magnetic abrasive brush, lubricant volume and decrease in working gap. Also, any decrease in the relative size of the abrasive particles vis-à-vis the iron particles would result into an increase of the surface roughness and decrease in material removal. It was observed that the work piece hardness had no considerable effect on the process results. The optimum parameter levels which lead into the best surface finish and highest material removal were also derived from these experimentations. Optimum levels included weight percentage of abrasive particles of 40%, Lubricant volume of 1 ml, working gap of 3 mm, relative size of abrasive particles vis-à-vis the iron particles of 0.22, and work piece hardness of 82-87 HBN. Disk type test pieces were selected from Al 7075 and their two side surfaces were under experiments. Experiments were made using a milling machine spindle as magnetic pole holder, and its table as fixture holder for work pieces.
