Concrete, ceramics, rocks, metal-matrix composites, titanium alloys and other hard-to-cut materials are frequently cut using the non-traditional cold processing method known as abrasive water jet machining (AWJM). A virtual system is proposed in study to minimize roughness of surface residual stress during AWJM alloy Ti6Al4V. The workpiece simulated environments smoothed particle hydrodynamics ...

Machining operations are of key importance to the fatigue performance nickel based superalloys due high thermal/mechanical loadings yielded on machined workpiece which can significantly alter surface integrity components. Therefore, understanding influence mechanisms machining induced upon response is vital determine their manufacturing processes and applications. In this respect, paper investi...

Integral Mechanical Attachment (IMA) uses features in the form of components for their connection. In addition to the transfer of forces, locator features are used as integral assembly guides. Prismatic, single-degree-offreedom (1DOF) joints only allow for a single assembly motion and therefore a simple, rapid and precise assembly. In modern timber construction, such CNC-fabricated 1DOF joints ...

As a new manufacturing process, abrasive water jet (AWJ)cutting has been very effective for difficult-to-machine materials. From the point of view of jet generation, abrasive water jets can be categorized as injection jeti or suspension jets. Injection jets are the most commonly used type for practical applications. An injection AWJ is formed by accelerating small abrasive particles through con...

abstract: nowadays, the non-traditional processes such as “laser, edm and awj” used for cutting high thickness sheet metal. hardox is hard and tough steel alloy and it has many industrialize applications. one best process to cut the hardox is abrasive water jet (awj) cutting.  it can cuts complex shape with high quality and accurate tolerance.  awj cutting offers certain unique benefits such as...
