Investigation of multiple process parameters in abrasive water jet machining of tiles

This paper discusses the optimization of an abrasive water jet machining process with multiple characteristics, using the Taguchi orthogonal array and grey relational analysis (GRA). The machining process variables, such as mesh size, nozzle diameter, abrasive flow rate, water pressure, stand-off distance, and feed rate, were optimized with respect to multiple performance characteristics, namely, the surface roughness and the kerf angle. Experiments were performed using an L₁₈ orthogonal array, and the optimum machining process variables were determined, using GRA. Analysis of variance was used to identify the most significant factor in the machining performance. A confirmatory test was performed to verify the improvement of the performance characteristics. The microstructure of the machined surfaces was also examined by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The results showed that the surface roughness and kerf angle were minimized under optimal machining conditions.

Theoretical analysis of piercing delicate materials with abrasive water‐jet

Abstract

An abrasive water‐jet cutting process is a process in which water is pressurized up to a very high value and forced through a very small orifice to form a very thin high speed jet beam. This thin jet beam is then directed through a chamber and fed to a secondary nozzle, which is called mixing tube. During this process, a vacuum is generated in the chamber, and abrasives and air are pulled into the chamber, through an abrasive feed tube. Usually, it takes a short time for abrasives to travel through the length of the tube and to be entrained into the jet. Before that, the jet impinging onto the solid surface is void of abrasives. During that short moment, the target material is exposed to a very high dynamic load. Although this high dynamic load only acts on target material for a very short period of time, its high value may crack target material quickly. This paper explores the theory behind the cracking phenomenon. Based on this exploration, understanding the piercing process completely becomes feasible.     

Numerical optimization of hole making in GFRP composite using abrasive water jet machining process

Machining of composite materials for the production of bolt holes is essential in the assembly of the structural frames in many industrial applications of glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP). Abrasive water jet cutting technology has been used in industry for such purposes. This technology has procured many overlapping applications and as the life of the joint in the assembled structure can be critically affected by the quality of the holes, so it is important for the industry to understand the application of the abrasive water jet cutting process on GFRP composite materials. The aim of the present work is to assess the influence of abrasive water jet machining parameters on the hole making process of woven-laminated GFRP material and to find the optimum values of the process parameters. Statistical approach was used to understand the effects of the predicted variables on the response variables. Analysis of variance was performed to isolate the effects of the parameters affecting the hole making in abrasive water jet cutting. The results show that the optimum values of cutting feed, fiber density, water jet pressure, standoff distance, and abrasive flow rate upon the response variables are 0.3 m/min, 0.82 g/cm³, 150 MPa, 2 mm, and 100 g/min, respectively.

In-flight behavior of lanthanum zirconate (La2Zr2O7) particles in gas tunnel type plasma jet and its coating properties

Numerical simulation of in-flight particles in thermal plasma jet is one of the most important research fields. It has been used to analyze the influence of spray parameters on jet characteristics and to improve the quality of coating during plasma spraying. In this study, in-flight behavior of a group of lanthanum zirconate (La₂Zr₂O₇) particles with different diameters (10–60 μm) in gas tunnel type plasma jet is investigated by numerical modeling. The influence of torch power on the plasma jet is investigated and its interaction with different sizes of La₂Zr₂O₇ particles is studied under optimized spraying conditions. The resultant coating properties are also investigated and correlated with simulation results. The simulation results showed that the plasma jet temperature and velocity increased while increasing the torch power. Consequently, the in-flight particle temperature and velocity profile also increased with respect to the torch power.     

Investigation on performance of abrasive water jet in machining hybrid composites

For machining of composites, abrasive water jet machining is widely employed. For assembly of the machine tool structure, production of slots is essential. In this paper, abrasive water jet machining of composite laminates was experimentally investigated for various cutting parameters in terms of average surface roughness (R_a) and kerf taper (K_t). By generating a response surface model, the experimental values obtained for quality characteristics (R_a and K_t) were empirically related to cutting parameters. The effects of cutting parameters on quality characteristics were analyzed by utilizing empirical models and also optimized within the tested range based on desirability approach. The optimum parameter levels were also validated by confirmation test. From this investigation, it is evident that for obtaining a minimum kerf taper, traverse speed, water pressure, and abrasive mass flow rate are significant parameters and for obtaining less surface roughness traverse speed is the significant parameter.     

Predicting breakage behavior and particle size of bronze and cast iron machining chips pulverized by jet milling

It has been proposed that the breakage behavior of particulate materials can be described by two material parameters f_mat and W_min. f_mat describes the resistance of the material to fracture in impact pulverization and W_min characterizes the specific energy which a particle can absorb without fracture. It is shown in this study that this concept can be used to quantify breakage behavior of bronze and cast iron chips in jet milling process and also to predict particle size of the jet milled product. Different tin bronze and cast iron chips with varying initial size were pulverized in a target plate jet mill with different velocity. f_mat was found to be in the range of 0.06–0.09 and 0.18–0.25 for bronze and cast iron alloys, respectively. For the cast iron alloys f_mat increased with increasing content of carbon and silicon. Similarly, for the bronze alloys, f_mat increased with increasing tin content. An equation was developed to predict mean particle size of the jet milled chips as a function of the kinetic energy, initial chip size and material parameters. The experimental results of various alloys confirmed that the mean particle size after single and multiple impacts were accurately predicted.     

Research on the Mechanism of Abrasive Particles Accelerated and a Cutting System of a Premixed Abrasive Jet

Forces acting on abrasive in the process of speeding up have been analyzed. Motion differential equation of abrasive in a pipeline and nozzle has been given,respectively. Mechanisms of abrasive particles accelerated in a premixed abrasive jet has been analyzed. The study shows that driven by high-pressure water,velocity of an abrasive is near to velocity of water in pipeline through the acceleration distance. In the taper section of a nozzle,water and abrasive particles are greatly accelerated at the same time. But velocity of an abrasive always lags behind velocity of water. A premixed abrasive jet cutting system has been introduced. The structure and working principles of the system have been given. The system is an assembly of abrasive screening and filling. By use of the premixed abrasive jet cutting system established,cutting experiments have been made to test the main parameters which influence the cutting performances such as working pressure,standoff and traverse velocity,and the nozzle diameter affecting cutting chink width.     

Multiresponse Optimization of Abrasive Water Jet Cutting Process Parameters Using TOPSIS Approach

This paper describes how optimization studies were carried out on an abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting process with multiresponse characteristics based on Multi Criteria Decision Making Methodology (MCDM) using the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach. The process parameters water jet pressure, traverse rate, abrasive flow rate, and standoff distance are optimized with multiresponse characteristics, including the depth of penetration (DOP), cutting rate (CR), surface roughness (R_a), taper cut ratio (TCR), and top kerf width (TKW). The optimized results obtained from this approach indicate that higher DOP and CR and lower R_a, TCR, and TKW were achieved with combinations of the AWJ cutting process parameters, such as water jet pressure of 300 MPa, traverse rate of 120 mm/min, abrasive flow rate of 360 g/min, and standoff distance of 1 mm. The experimental results indicate that the multiresponse characteristics of the AA5083-H32 unit used during the AWJ cutting process can be enhanced through the TOPSIS method. Analysis of variance was carried out to determine the significant factors for the AWJ cutting process.

The experimental results revealed that higher abrasive flow rate (400 g/min), lower traverse rate (30 mm/min), and higher aqua jet pressure (300 MPa), the production of a higher material removal rate, lower surface roughness and kerf taper angle.

Investigation on the cutting quality characteristics of abrasive water jet machining of AA6061-B4C-hBN hybrid metal matrix composites

Aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) explicitly show better physical and mechanical properties as compared to aluminum alloys and results in a more preferred material for a wide range of applications. The addition of reinforcements embargo AMMCs employment to industry requirements by increasing order of machining complexity. However, it can be machined with a high order of surface integrity by nonconventional approaches like abrasive water jet machining. Hybrid aluminum alloy composites were reinforced by B₄C (5–15?vol%) and solid lubricant hBN (15?vol%) particles and fabricated using a liquid metallurgy route. This research article deals with the experimental investigation on the effect of process parameters such as mesh size, abrasive flow rate, water pressure and work traverse speed of abrasive water jet machining on hybrid AA6061-B₄C-hBN composites. Water jet pressure and traverse speed have been proved to be the most significant parameters which influenced the responses like kerf taper angle and surface roughness. Increase in reinforcement particles affects both the kerf taper angle and surface roughness. SEM images of the machined surface show that cutting wear mechanism was largely operating in material removal.     

Finite element analysis of single-particle impact in abrasive water jet machining

This contribution presents an explicit finite element analysis (FEA) of a single abrasive particle impact on stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) in abrasive water jet (AWJ) machining. In the experimental verification, the shapes of craters on the workpiece material were observed and compared with FEA simulation results by means of crater sphericity. The influences of the impact angle and particle velocity were observed. Especially the impact angle emerged as a very suitable process parameter for experimental verification of FEA simulation, where crater sphericity was observed. Results of the FEA simulation are in good agreement with those obtained from the experimental verification. The presented work gives the basis for further FEA investigation of AWJ machining, where influences such as particles rotation and other process parameters will be observed.
