Abstract Abrasive waterjet cutting is a manufacturing technology making use of high-speed with abrasive particles in suspension, for materials different mechanical properties. Product quality requirements are pushing towards an improvement tracking and stabilization methods the relevant process variables. Amongst those, jet kinetic power defines capability has significant impact on final cut fe...

Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting is a manufacturing technique, which uses high-speed as the transport medium for abrasive particles to erode and cut through metal workpieces. The use of abrasives has significant environmental impacts leads high operating costs AWJ cutting. Therefore, it important investigate whether other approaches can perform same tasks with reduced economic impacts. One such ...

If one of the surfaces which are in touch is rough and hard, it chips the other surface due to relative motion or touching forces. The wear is called two-body abrasive wear. If there are free abrasive particles between the two bodies, the wear is called three-body abrasive wear. The free abrasive particles may be external material dust or the remains of chipping. Usually, the wear starts as a t...
