The present study aims to perform a comparative analysis of the technological parameters influence on the output parameters for two biodegradable polymeric materials, Arbofill Fichte and Arboblend V2 Nature. The varied input parameters during abrasive water jet cuuting (AWJ) were water jet pressure, traverse speed and abrasive material flow. The quantitative and qualitative output parameters proposed are the amount of material removed (MR) and the inclination angle - α° of the resulted surfaces. The measured MR and α° values highlighted the fact that they fall within the admissible parameters, so that the obtained parts by cutting the Arbofill Fichte and Arboblend V2 Nature samples can be used in industrial applications that require this type of processing and more. Was also achieved the optimization of the technological parameters used for processing according to the next criteria: minimum inclination angle and minimum amount of material removed.

Metal matrix composites are difficult to machine in traditional machining methods. Abrasive water jet machining is a state-of-the art technology which enables machining of practically all engineering materials. This article deals with the investigation on optimization of process parameters of abrasive water jet machining of hybrid aluminium 7075 metal matrix composites with 5%, 10% and 15% of TiC and B4C (equal amount of each) reinforcement. The kerf characteristics such as kerf top width, kerf angle and surface roughness were studied against the abrasive water jet machining process parameters, namely, water jet pressure, jet traverse speed and standoff distance. Contribution of these parameters on responses was determined by analysis of variance. Regression models were obtained for kerf characteristics. Contribution of traverse speed was found to be more than other parameters in affecting top kerf width. Water jet pressure influenced more in affecting kerf angle and surface finish. The microstructures of machined surfaces were also analysed by scanning electron microscopy. The scanning electron microscopy investigations exposed the plastic deformation cutting of hybrid 7075 aluminium metal matrix composite. X-ray diffraction analysis results proved the non-entrapment of abrasive particle on the machined surface.

The Impact

The main effort of each technological process is not only to reduce the costs, but also to reduce the impact on the environment. The technology of abrasive water jet is one of the methods of division and cutting materials with the lowest impact on the environment, since water is the cutting tool, in our case with the addition of an abrasive. The aim of the measurement was the observation (examination) and evaluation of the vibration impact on the technological head in the technology of abrasive water jet when changing the selected technological parameters, namely the feed rate of the technological head. The experiments were carried out on one kind of material - steel HARDOX 500 with a thickness of 10 mm. The impact of the change of the technological head’s feed rate (100, 50, mm/min) on the size of the vibration acceleration amplitude and its frequency were examined. A database was created from the measured vibration values on the technological head and from that database the data was evaluated in selected softwares (LabVIEW, SignalExpress a Microsoft Excel). Graphical dependencies, frequency spectra covers and covers comparison graph were created from which new findings and conclusions were formulated.

Awj Cutting

Several titanium alloys, i.e., grade 2 Ti, Ti6Al4V and NiTi alloy, prepared by selected deformation procedures were subjected to abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting and subsequently analysed. The study describes samples’ preparations and respective material structures. The impact of deformation processing of the selected alloys on the declination angle during cutting, and the results of measurements of surface wall quality performed for the selected samples at the Department of Physics of Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at VŠB–Technical University of Ostrava, are presented and discussed, as are also the influences of structural features of the processed titanium alloys on surface qualities of the investigated samples. The results showed that the highest resistance to AWJ machining exhibited the Ti6Al4V alloy prepared by forward extrusion. Its declination angle (recalculated to the thickness 10 mm to compare all the studied samples) was 12.33° at the traverse speed of 100 mm/min, pumping pressure of 380 MPa, and abrasive mass flow rate of 250 g/min.

This paper aims to develop a predictive model and optimize the performance of the abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) during machining of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) epoxy laminates composite through a unique approach of artificial neural network (ANN) linked with the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II). Initially, 80 AWJM experimental runs were carried out to generate the data set to train and test the ANN model. During the experimentation, the stand-off distance (SOD), water pressure, traverse speed and abrasive mass flow rate (AMFR) were selected as input AWJM variables and the average surface roughness and kerf width were considered as response variables. The established ANN model predicted the response variable with mean square error of 0.0027. Finally, the ANN coupled NSGA-II algorithm was applied to determine the optimum AWJM input parameters combinations based on multiple objectives.

This Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM) process is usually used to through cut materials which are difficult to cut by conventional machining processes. This process may also be used for controlled depth milling (CDM) of materials. This work primarily focuses on controlling the abrasive flow rate to reduce the time for machining the component. Here, an experimental setup is made with a modified attachment for abrasive feed system to machine for Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The work also investigates the surface morphology, tolerance on depth of machining and surface waviness for the modified setup. With change in mass flow rate of abrasive, the traverse speed is altered and its effects on the machining time are studied. It is observed that traverse speed is an important parameter in the case of CDM for AWJM. It is also shown that surface waviness can be reduced as traverse speed is increased by using modified abrasive feeding system.
