Parametric analysis of Abrasives water jet machining of EN8 Material

Abrasive water jet machine (AWJM) is a mechanical base non-conventional machining process. This is process of removal of materials by impact erosion of high pressure (1500-4000 bar), high velocity of water and entrained high velocity of grit abrasives on a work piece. Experimental investigations were conducted to assess the influence of abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) process parameters on responseMaterial removal rate (MRR) and Surface roughness (Ra) of EN8. The approach was based on Taguchi’s method and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to optimize the AWJM process parameters for effective machining. Experiments are carried out using L25 Orthogonal array by varying traverse speed, abrasive flow rate and stand of distance (SOD) for EN8 material. In present study, Analysis found that varying parameters are affected in different way for different response.
