ABRASIVE WATER JET CUTTING OF STAINLESS STEEL

Abstract

An abrasive water jet is a jet of water which contains abrasive material. Usually the water a nozzle at a high speed and the abrasive material is injected into the jet stream. The purpose of the abrasive water jet is to perform machining or finishing operation such as cutting The use of the abrasive water jet for machining or finishing purposes is based on the principle of erosion of the material upon which the jet hits. It is found from the study and analysis that to improve product quality to a greater extent considering all factors (i.e. Thickness of Material, Pressure, Abrasive Flow rate, Orifice diameter and mixing tube diameter). Linear Multiple Regression Software is used to solve the equations of the dependent and independent variables. A C++ program is developed to solve the cutting speed of smooth, rough surface and Actual cutting power problem in a convenient way.
