A novel metal-cutting technology for high-risk environments using self-excited oscillation pulsed abrasive water jet

Abstract

Abstract. The self-excited oscillation pulsed water jet is an efficient and valuable technology for cutting, especially for risky environments. In this paper, the pulsed water jet is explored to be used in high-risk environment for metal cutting. The abrasives are proposed to be added in to enhance its cutting ability. A portable cutting system is assembled and examined. The result shows that the cutting system is convenient and effective for risky environments.
