Improving the surface roughness quality of 3D printed components, especially metallic ones, which are fabricated from selective laser melting (SLM) method, has drawn enormous attention research community. It should be noted that various studies on this topic have reported precise results can obtained with techniques indeed not cost-effective. Differing itself these studies, manuscript investiga...

The paper discusses the material removal process in refractory ceramics eroded by hydro-abrasive jets. In particular, bauxite, sintered magnesia, and magnesia chromite are eroded. The influence of abrasive particle velocity, local exposure time, abrasive mass-flow rate, and abrasive type is investigated. Erosion depth, specific erosion rate, and geometry of the generated cavities are measured a...

Abrasive waterjet machining (AWJM) is one of the modern machining process for difficult to cut materials. It is an environment friendly and relatively inexpensive process with reasonably high material removal rate. In all the machining processes the quality of the work piece is depends on various design parameters. The process parameters which mainly affect the quality of cutting in AWJM are Hy...
