EFFECT OF INPUT PARAMETER ON GFRP WITH SiC AS ABRASIVE USING ( AJM ) ABRASIVE JET MACHINING-DRILLING OPERATION

Abstract

Abrasive jet machining is the non-traditional material removal process. It is an effective machining
process for processing a variety of hard, brittle and composites material. In this study variety of fundamental
research on Abrasive jet machining (AJM) process parameters on different materials is studied and
reviewed. This work aims at studying the effect of input parameter on GFRP. The effect of process
parameters (Material thickness, air pressure and stand- off distance) is studied on response parameters
(material removal rate, taper) by designing and performing the detailed experiments using full factorial
methodology. Process performance data for various parameters is analyzed using ANOVA.
