Analysis and optimization of mass percentage of zycoprint polymer and abrasives in achieving stability of suspension mixture in abrasive water jet machining

The suspension parameters are vital in the suspension-type abrasive water jet (AWJ) machining of several engineering materials, more so difficult-to-cut because it significantly influences stability and sedimentation behaviour mixture particle acceleration into AWJs. AWJs improved by using polymer additives. Hence, is necessary to study effect (abrasive concentrations) on stability. In this direction, novel work reported paper analyses varying mass percentage abrasives (garnet aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 )) ( ω a ) zycoprint p considering Taguchi L 9 Orthogonal array (OA). linear regression (LR) models for volume with garnet V s G Al A ), developed.
