Abrasive medium classification and CFD simulations for low-pressure abrasive water-jet blasting
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study concerns the determination of the significant factors for an innovative deburring process: low pressure abrasive water-jet blasting. We firstly classify the abrasive medium aluminum oxide (Al2O3) according to the individual characteristics of different grain sizes. Then, the particle behavior in the air jet is analyzed with an optical measuring method, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV); the velocity profile and the particle distribution of the dispersed system are obtained. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were verified by comparing the experimental and numerical results, and we could specify the velocity range for the abrasive particles.

Nozzle Design for Low-Pressure Micro Abrasive Waterjet Blasting via CFD Simulations
Waterjet technology has been extensively used in machining processes since 1970’s, and in the last years it has evolved to a precision machining tool for micro workpieces, namely micro abrasive-waterjet blasting (μAWJB); nevertheless, as a finishing process to remove micro-burrs it has not been yet developed. Our experimental studies on low-pressure μAWJB showed that conventional nozzles which ...
