Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

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

In this paper, we have experimentally, numerically and theoretically investigated the water
jet cleaning process. Very high speed water jets (∼ 80–200m/s) are typically used in such …

Machining with abrasives is a widely used process for producing intricate shapes on
components and artifacts and for providing precise tolerances that are required especially …

Layered composites are “difficult-to-machine” materials as it is inhomogeneous due to the
matrix properties, fibre orientation, and relative volume fraction of matrix. Abrasive waterjet …

Abrasive jet micromachining (AJM) is a non-traditional technology that can effectively
remove hard and brittle materials at high cut quality. A key requisite in modelling the AJM …

Kerf taper is a special and undesirable geometrical feature inherent to abrasive waterjet
(AWJ) machining. In this study, an experimental investigation is carried out to minimise or …

Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) is a popular method used for cutting purposes. It uses
a thin jet of ultra-high pressure water and abrasive slurry to cut the material and the cutting is …

Abrasive waterjet peening (AWJP) has become an essential surface treatment technique to
improve the surface integrity and mechanical properties of metallic parts due to its high …

The surface profile evolution model, which was initially developed for glass and polymers,
can accurately predict a channel profile cross-section produced by abrasive jet (AJ) …
