Waterjet machining has attracted great attention in the conditions of hard-to-machine
materials, microstructures, or complicated industrial components, and it has become well …

Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) has been widely used for the cutting of hard materials such as
rocks. The AWJ cutting of rocks has been well documented in the relevant literature. In these …

Abrasive waterjet machining (AWJM) is an emerging machining technology option for hard
material parts that are extremely difficult-to-machine by conventional machining processes …

Many studies investigating the cutting performances of waterjets for several kinds of
materials such as steel, brass, glass, or aluminium are available. However, there are few …

Abrasives play a critical role in the erosion process of abrasive waterjet (AWJ). Therefore,
they can significantly affect the performance and profitability of cutting. In the relevant …

Conical pick bears great cutting force, shock, vibration and friction in breaking rock. In order
to improve rock breaking efficiency and reduce cutting force as well as pick wear, high …

This research article aims at comparing the erosion performance of continuous and
ultrasonically generated pulsating water jet technologies on granite samples at three …

An experimental study is carried out for modeling the rock cutting performance of abrasive
waterjet. Kerf angle (KA) is considered as a performance criteria and modeled using artificial …

Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting is considered one of the optimum machining processes for
cutting a reflective, conductive, or heat sensitive materials like aluminum alloys. The aim of …

In this paper, an experimental study on the cut depth, which is an important cutting
performance indicator in the abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting of rock, was presented. Taguchi …
