Research on Abrasive Water Jet Milling of the Planar Surfaces, Slots and Profiles

Abstract:

Abrasive Water Jet is an innovative process which proves to be a good solution for cutting, drilling, polishing and milling, for various materials. Abrasive Water Jet milling has some advantages, compared with classical technologies, such as: high flexibility and machining versatility, no thermal distortion. In this paper the authors proposed a few strategies for water jet milling manufacturing. Using the correct processing strategies and proper process parameters, water jet milling is a good solution to manufacture plan surfaces, profiles and slots.
