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...

Cemented carbides are outstanding engineering materials widely used in quite demanding material removal applications. In this study, laser surface texturing is implemented for enhancing, at the surface level, the intrinsic bulk-like tribological performance of these materials. In this regard, hexagonal pyramids patterned on the cutting surface of a tungsten cemented carbide grade (WC–CoNi) have...

The paper presents the results of experimental work on assessment 3D geometry surface stereometry obtained as a result Water Jet (AWJ) water-abrasive beam cutting using an Eckert Opal WaterJet COMBO hydro-abrasive cutter. Studies geometric structures were conducted Alicona Infinite Focus microscope. article analyses selected spatial roughness parameters multilayer structure surfaces combined vu...

Finishing methods of machining superhard composite’s working elements based on cubic boron nitride BL group are considered. The results the microgeometry formation research cutting inserts’ surfaces during by free powders synthetic diamond, grinding wheels and a method vibro-magnetic-abrasive (VMAM) presented. It is shown that VMAM friction between abrasive particles result in microremoval mate...

A water jet machining is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using a very high-pressure jet of water, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. This paper addresses the concept of the Intelligent knowledge base system (IKBS) for optimization of product design and manufacturing process for water jet machining in computer based concurrent engineering environme...
