ABRASIVE WATER JET MACHINING OF COMPOSITES: A REVIEW
Keywords:
Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM), Composites, Cutting performance, Optimization, ModellingAbstract
Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) is an emerging technology for material processing. Composite materials have gained prominent place in global manufacturing scenario. AWJM has demonstrated to be an interesting manufacturing process in the machining of composites because of its specific advantages. This paper presents a detailed literature review in the area of AWJM of composites. The available literature in the domain area is classified in three categories - cutting performance of AWJM, optimization of process parameters and modelling of AWJM process. Based on the literature review, future scope of research work in AWJM of composites is also identified.
