Physical and Geometrical Quality of X2CrNi18-9 Stainless Steel Surfaces Cut with Abrasive Waterjet - Work Hardening of Marginal Layer

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study presents investigations regarding processing X2CrNi18-9 stainless steel sheet with 2 mm thickness using abrasive waterjet cutting.By variation of base technological parameters (water pressure, travelling speed, abrasive rate and focusing tube inner diameter) the shape together with size of the kerf were analyzed.Roughness measurements from the entrance to exit of cut surfaces in correlation with the analysis carried out using an optical microscope highlights work hardening of the marginal layer. This phenomenon is less accentuated in the higher area which is in the vicinity of the focusing tube and intensifies towards the lower area of cut material.
