Study of Abrasive Water Jet Polishing Technology

Abstract:

In this paper, the influence of the incidence angle and abrasive mesh on the polishing quality is analyzed during AWJ polishing process. Through the study on the jet flow structure, it is obtained the standoff of AWJ polishing is chosen within the jet basic section. According to the experiments for AWJ Polishing quartz, it is better to remove material by ductile removal mechanism choosing small incidence angle, low pressure and small abrasive size. The ductile removal mechanism of the polished material is a necessary condition for the ideal polishing results
