The paper presents a comparative analysis of the technique of cutting materials such as water jet cutting and laser cutting. The tests were carried out while cutting plastic elements, such as: PMMA, HIPS and ABS. To compare the analysed cutting methods, it was necessary to limit the type of material to be cut to the selected plastics due to the limited thickness range of the samples cut with the use of the laser used for the tests. The workpiece was designed in AutoCAD. The geometry was designed in such a way that it was possible to compare the accuracy of cutting both straight sections, curves and holes using the cutting techniques tested. The roughness of the treated surfaces (edges of the samples) was also analysed. A roughness gauge was used to test the edges. The obtained research results were compiled and analysed to determine the optimal technology and parameters of cutting processes for individual types of selected materials and shapes. As it was shown, the wrong selection of the cutting technology in relation to the processed material or the wrong selection of machining parameters may lead to the destruction of the detail being made and incur significant costs.

Combining with the electron microscope analysis of the morphology of incision, the mechanism of abrasive water jet cutting metal materials was carried out to explore, for the rational selection of abrasive jet cutting parameters, to extend its application to provide the basis. Study shows that the abrasive water jet cutting metal materials, the material damage mechanism is mainly to yield deformation and failure and shear of grinding damage, grooving formation is mainly caused by falling impact deformation and furrows grinding.

Determining how to strikingly and environmentally reduce the accident rate on roads in the snow weather, and ensure the traffic flow and safety in the icy district has become a tough issue nowadays. In the context, this article analyzed the series of current research results on different deicing techniques, and presents a new method which combines the thermal water-jet cutting with mechanical-milling deicing technique. It also introduces the structure and working principle of this device, together with the practicality design. The experiments indicate that this device can perform well in deicing work, environmentally friendly and satisfy to the requirements of design.

Machining of composite materials for the production of bolt holes is essential in the assembly of the structural frames of many industrial applications of GFRP. Abrasive water jet cutting technology has been used in industry for such purposes. This technology has procured many overlapping applications and as the life of the joint in the assemble structure can be critically affected by the quality of the holes, it is thus important for the industry to understand the application of abrasive water jet cutting process on GFRP composite materials. The aim of the present work is to to assess the influence of abrasive water jet machining parameters on hole making process of woven laminated GFRP material. Statistical approach was used to understand the effects of the predicted variables on the response variables. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to isolate the effects of the parameters affecting the hole making in abrasive water jet. The result shows that cutting feed, water jet pressure, standoff distance and abrasive flow rate are influential parameters upon the response variables of the abrasive water jet cutting process of GFRP composite, type 3240.

In this article, we deal with a progressive production technology using the water jet cutting technology with the addition of abrasives for material removal. This technology is widely used in cutting various shapes, but also for the technology of machining such as turning, milling, drilling and cutting of threads. The aim of this article was to analyse the surface of selected types of metallic materials after abrasive machining, i.e. by assessing the impact of selected machining parameters on the surface roughness of metallic materials.

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) composite is most attractive materials to reduce the weight of transportations. To increase the production volume and the efficiency in the field of CFRP component, fast, highly precise and cost-efficient technologies are required. Although laser cutting meets these requirements, it is not used because of insufficient knowledge about the effect of thermal damage on the material behavior. In this study, the effect of several cutting processes on the static tensile strength and the fatigue strength was evaluated for CFRP consisting of thermoset resin matrix and carbon fibers. The CFRP was cut using two different-type of lasers; a CO2 gas laser and a single-mode fiber laser, an abrasive water-jet and a conventional mechanical tool. The mechanical cutting specimen produced a cut of high quality. The water-jet cutting specimen showed a moderate quality though was seen a trace of abrasive grain. While, the laser cutting specimens clearly showed a heat-affected zone (HAZ). The static tensile strength and the fatigue strength by laser cutting specimens clearly decreased in comparison with mechanical or water-jet cutting specimen. The laser cutting specimen exhibited a linear dependency of the tensile strength on the HAZ, indicating that the main effect resulted from thermal destruction of CFRP within the HAZ.
