Carbon fiber reinforced ceramic matrix ceramic/polymers composites have excellent
physical-mechanical properties for their specific strength, high hardness, and strong fracture …

Fine abrasives, be they loose or fixed, are invariably used in the production of components
of the highest quality in terms of form and finish accuracy, and surface integrity. While …

It cannot escape the attention of the cost and quality-conscious manufacturing engineer that
the number of forming processes in the manufacture of serial parts is increasing. Besides the …

Ultrahigh-pressure abrasive-waterjets (AWJs) are being developed as net shape and near-
net-shape machining tools for hard-to-machine materials. These tools offer significant …

Abrasive water jet machining has been extensively used for cutting various materials. In
particular, it has been applied for difficult-to-cut materials, mostly metals, which are used in …

The issues of fouling, erosion and corrosion are commonly occurring phenomena on the flue
gas heat exchangers for middle/low temperature waste heat utilization due to the special …

Generally, unconventional or advanced machining processes (AMPs) are used only when
no other traditional machining process can meet the necessary requirements efficiently and …

In the presented study, Ti–6Al–4V alloy, known as one of the difficult-to-machine materials
using conventional machining processes, was machined under varying traverse speeds of …

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 …

An investigation of the cutting performance and erosive process in abrasive waterjet (AWJ)
machining of polymer matrix composites is presented. It shows that AWJ cutting can produce …
