Influence of Abrasive water jet machining parameters on surface roughness & Material removal rate on different engineering materials- A Review

Abstract

Abrasive water jet cutting is widely used in manufacturing sector like aerospace industry, automobile
industry, Nuclear plant dismantling etc. Current trends focuses on minimization of cost in each sector which can be
directly related with MRR of different materials. Solution to this can be obtained by combination of manufacturing
processes and optimization techniques in which maximize or minimize the process parameters which gives measurable
effect MRR. This paper reviews the research work approved out from the inception to the development of AWJM within
the previous decade. It reports on the AWJM research concerning to improving performance measures, monitoring and
control of process, optimizing the process parameters. A comprehensive range of AWJM industrial uses for diverse
category of material are described with variations. The paper also confers the future development of research work in
the area.
