| Abstract: | 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. |
