A Review: Challenges Associated with advance material machinability using AWJM
Keywords:
Abrasive Water jet Machining, Machinability, Nozzle wear, InconelAbstract
Machinability is a critical engineering aspect, evolving from basic techniques to advanced computational methods for precision machining, thereby enhancing material performance and productivity. Titanium and steel, vital to military, biomedical, and aerospace industries, require effective shaping techniques that preserve their properties. Titanium's high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to heat and corrosion, along with stainless steel ease of welding and machining, make them essential materials. Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM) stands out for its superior deformation and fabrication capabilities across materials like plastics, ceramics, polymers, and metals. This study focuses on key output factors such as flatness, straightness, depth of cut, Material Removal Rate (MRR), surface roughness, kerf width, and kerf taper. Optimal results depend on precise control of parameters like water jet pressure, stand-off distance, traverse speed, abrasive flow rate, abrasive material, abrasive size, orifice diameter, nozzle diameter, nozzle length, and nozzle angle. Despite extensive research and simulations, further refinement is needed to minimize metal stress and improve cutting quality. This paper examines the machinability of titanium, stainless steel, Inconel, and their alloys, highlighting the challenges and limitations in optimizing AWJM parameters for these materials.
