3. 1. What is Abrasive Waterjet Cutting? Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM) is a cutting-edge manufacturing process that uses a high-velocity stream of water mixed with abrasive particles to precisely cut, shape, and machine a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, and composites.

5. 3. Working of Abrasive Water Jet Machining The idea of ​​the abrasive water jet is based on shaping and cutting materials by friction, where the particles rub against the workpiece and thus 1- It results in a product that does not require cleaning after the cutting and shaping process 2- It is used on all types of materials without causing any damage to it that may lead to its failure

6. 4. Applications of Abrasive Water Jet Machining The various applications of this jet machining are: Cutting metals (e.g., steel, aluminium , titanium). Precision cutting of ceramics and glass. Shaping and profiling composite materials. Cutting stone, marble, and granite.. Manufacturing intricate gaskets and seals. Cutting automotive parts like gears and disc brakes.

7. 5. Advantages of Abrasive Water Jet Machining • Versatile, cuts a wide range of materials. • Precise and accurate. • Minimal heat-affected zone. • No need for tool changes. • Minimal mechanical stress on the workpiece. • Environmentally friendly (no hazardous fumes). • Can cut thick materials. • No need for secondary finishing processes.

8. 6. Disadvantages of Abrasive Water Jet Machining Higher operating costs due to abrasive material usage. Produces abrasive waste that requires proper disposal. Limited to certain thicknesses of materials. May generate noise during operation. Abrasive wear on equipment components. Not ideal for highly reflective or brittle materials. Initial equipment costs can be relatively high. Low material cutting rate

9. 7. Difference Between Abrasive and Pure Water Jet Cutting Pure Waterjet Cutting : Pure waterjet cutting can be used to cut soft materials like food items, paper, foam, rubber, felt, and soft plastics. Abrasive Waterjet Cutting : Abrasive waterjets can be used to cut virtually any material you can think of carbon fiber, metals, hard plastics, ceramics, stone, glass, wood, earth, etc.
