Abstract: In the machining of materials, abrasive-waterjets are typically applied at a 90 deg. angle to the surface of the workpiece. This paper presents results and observations on machining with ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of using abrasive-waterjets (AWJs) for controlled-depth milling of aluminum and titanium isogrid parts used in aerospace and ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the factors that need to be considered when selecting the operational parameters for abrasive-waterjet (AWJ) machining. Machining applications such as cutting, milling, and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comparison between two types of abrasive liquid jet cutting systems: entrainment systems, which typically use abrasive-waterjets (AWJs) to perform the cutting; and systems ...

Abstract: The abrasive-waterjet (AWJ) machining process is a controlled erosive wear process where the abrasive cutting agents are focused in a narrow beam. The beam-material interaction process constitutes ...

Abstract: Quantitative and qualitative results of a novel turning technique that employs abrasive-waterjets as cutting tools are presented. These jets are formed by mixing abrasive particles with a ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the wear characteristics of the mixing tube of an abrasive-waterjet nozzle. An effective nozzle material should possess high values of both hardness and toughness. The mixing ...

Abstract: This paper addresses an experimental investigation on the feasibility of using abrasive-waterjets (AWJs) for the precision drilling of small-diameter holes in advanced aircraft engine components. ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted to investigate the influence of abrasive waterjet parameters on the volume removal rate in abrasive waterjet turning. Abrasive mass flow rate, abrasive ...

Abstract: A deep kerf tool was designed to cut through the thick, reinforced concrete structures of nuclear facilities to help make the decommissioning process more efficient. Abrasive-waterjet (AWJ) cutting ...
