Abstract The present paper discusses the impact of the speed of an abrasive water jet cutting process on some surface properties and morphology of the S235JRG1 steel. The values of the cutting speeds used for the analysis were of 100, 150 and 200 mm.min−1 respectively. A contact profile method was used to analyze the surface roughness during the conducted tests. In this study, the observed surface roughness parameters were the Ra, Rt and Rz, respectively. At the same time, these parameters were measured in three positions, i.e.: at the inlet (A), in the middle (B) and at the exit position (C) of the water jet nozzle with respect to the machined material. The experimental study showed that the roughness of the surface reached higher peaks and was more pronounced at the exit position (C) of the water jet. Similarly, it was also concluded that a better quality of the surface was achieved at a speed of 150 mm.min−1.

Technological Quality

Despite extensive knowledge of the cutting methods described, no universal method has been developed so far for evaluating the technological quality of elements shaped by different cutting processes. The aim of the research described in this article was to fill this gap and to propose the author’s methodology for the assessment of the technological quality of the surface of X5CRNI18-10 steel shaped as a result of laser cutting and abrasive water jet cutting. A synthetic index of technological quality assessment of the surface after cutting CTQ (cutting technological quality) was proposed. Three groups of factors were taken into account in the assessment of technological quality of the surface after cutting: selected surface texture parameters (arithmetic mean deviation of the surface Sa and total height of the surface St), results of measurements of dimensional accuracy of cut elements (length deviation LD and width deviation WD) as well as indicators of surface morphology estimated on the basis of microscopic images of the surface after cutting (deformation intensity DI and identification of cutting zones ICZ). On the basis of CTQ values determined, the cutting results of both cutting methods were compared. The analyses presented in this paper proved that the CTQ index can be effectively used to compare the results of a cutting process conducted using different methods and under different conditions. The developed CTQ index is a universal valuation tool, allowing for quantitative evaluation of features related to the technological quality of cutting process results.

Study Results

In this paper, the effect of abrasive water jet cutting process on the surface character of medical implant SS316L was investigated. This research focuses on the effect of traverse speed during abrasive water jet cutting on the surface roughness and topography of medical implant material SS316L. In some study, it has been noted that the roughness of implant material correlates with the healing process of a sufferer in medical application. Furthermore, transverse speed has an important role in the manufacturing process that correlates directly with the ability of technic to produce a product at a definite time. Garnet was used as an abrasive material in this water jet cutting process. The process was taking place in room temperature with 3000Psi of water pressure. In this study, the surface roughness was examined at all point of depth of the cut surface in all of the transverse speed using Mitutoyo SJ 210, while the surface topography observed by Olympus BX53M optical microscope. The study results reveal that traverse speed has a significant effect on the surface roughness at the surface, middle, and bottom of the cut point. The Surface roughness increase as transverse speed.

The Impact

The problem of cutting difficult-to-machine materials used in the aerospace industry, aircraft industry, and automobile industry, led to the development and application one of today?s most attractive technology for contour cutting - abrasive water jet cutting. For the efficient use of abrasive water jet cutting, it is of great importance to analyze the impact of process parameters on performance indicators, such as cutting quality, productivity, and costs. But also, from the energy utilization point of view, it is very important to analyze the impact of these parameters on the specific cutting energy which represents the amount of energy spent on the removal of material in the unit time. Having this in mind, this study presents the experimental results of abrasive water jet cutting of aluminum alloy with the aim of creating a mathematical model for estimating specific cutting energy as an important indicator of the degree of utilization of the available energy in the cutting process. The mathematical model of the specific cutting energy is explicitly represented as a non-linear function of the process parameters, obtained by the artificial neural network.
