A Study on Recycling of Supreme Garnet in Abrasive Waterjet Machining

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new study on the recycling of Supreme garnet (or IMC garnet) in abrasive waterjet machining. In this study, the reusability of the garnet was investigated. Also, the optimal particle size for the recycling of the garnet was pointed out. In addition, the cutting performance and the cutting quality of the recycled abrasive were investigated by comparing with that of new abrasives. From the results, the way how to recycle effectively the garnet was proposed.
