Study on Cutting Coloring Stainless Steel by Abrasive Waterjet

Abstract:

Coloring stainless steel is a kind of corrosion-resistant and ornamental industry material. Whereas, the oxide film on stainless steel is sensitive to heat. At about 200
, the oxide film would be oxidized or dehydrated. With lesser cutting force and no thermal influence on target material, AWJ may be a suited method in cutting coloring stainless steel. In this paper, an experimental study on cutting coloring stainless steel by abrasive waterjet was carried out. By analyzing macroscopic features of kerfs, a damage model was established and a principle to optimize process parameters was presented.
