“…Due to the air drag at a higher SOD, the water jet deflected and lost a part of its kinetic energy, resulting in a poor surface finish [32]. Moreover, at a higher TS, lesser abrasives take part in the cutting action, which resulted in a higher SR of the machined surface [33]. The contribution of each AWJM parameter and their interaction effects on the surface roughness are evaluated by conducting an ANOVA.…”

In the last few decades, natural composite materials have been considered one of the highly sustainable ecological alternatives for reducing the consumption of synthetic materials. Today, research on natural fiber composites is the main thrust for their use in various industrial applications. Further, continuous research works are being carried out to utilize natural composites as an alternative to synthetic materials. However, the inhomogeneity of composites, delamination, fiber pullout, higher surface roughness (SR) and dimensional inaccuracy under traditional machining have led the attention towards non-traditional machining, such as abrasive water jet machining, to achieve high-quality components. Hence, in this study, an experimental analysis based on the design of experiments is conducted on the machinability of a hybrid rice straw/Furcraea foetida composite under abrasive water jet machining (AWJM). Further, the concentration of the rice straw and the AWJ process parameters are varied, and their effects on the quality of machining is evaluated. The experimental trials are designed based on the Taguchi L27 orthogonal array, followed by an analysis of variance (ANOVA). From extensive experimentations, the concentration of rice straw is observed to be the most contributing (93.5%) factor to the SR. The traverse speed (TS) shows the highest percentage contributions of 93.13%, 55.50 and 55.70% to the material removal rate (MRR) and the top (TKW) and bottom kerf widths (BKW), respectively. However, the interaction between the fiber concentration and traverse speed gives the maximum contribution (35.04%) to the kerf taper (KT). A second-order response surface model is generated to study the effects of the process parameters on the SR, MRR, TKW, BKW and KT in any experimental domain. Finally, the microstructural characteristics of the machined surfaces, such as micro-cracks, debonding, and fiber pullout, are discussed.

“…The kerf taper also increased with increase in the standoff distance due to widening of the jet. Jagadish et al [66] concluded that the AWJM technique is an important alternative to traditional processes for machining PFRP composites with high productivity, surface quality, and long-term durability. Jani et al [67] reported that the material loss and surface fracture are the most common concerns experienced on the machined surface when machining the composite with a traditional procedure.…”

A composite is a solid material created by combining two or more different substances, each with its own set of qualities, to create a new substance with properties that outperform the original components for a specific use. Currently composite materials are widely applied across various fields due to its superior properties. The fibre reinforced composites being light in weight, and high strength are replacing metals in many applications. Nowadays, more focus is paid in developing sustainable and environment friendly materials without compromise in the quality. This reason led to the development of Natural Fibre Reinforced Composite (NFRC) materials, which is gaining more attention towards them. Though many NFRCs were developed, machining is a very big challenge. Compared to the traditional machining processes, the non-traditional machining process is proved to be recommendable for machining NFRC materials. In this article, the numerous research endeavors carried out in machining of NFRCs using Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM) process is reviewed. This article describes the different parameters considered in AWJM process and their influence over the machining characteristics of NFRCs. Based on the different research carried out, the use of nanofillers in the right composition is expected to increase the performance of the AWJM process over NFRCs.

“…And at SoD of 3 mm, NS at 100 mm/min, and WP at 125 MPa achieved the optimum surface roughness of 0.13 μm. 158 With the help of fly ash as a filler, the surface roughness and MRR of alkali-treated sisal/pineapple epoxy composite after machining were evaluated. The addition of fly ash, which was taken from the different weight percentages of coir, banana, and bagasse, made a shield on the workpiece that can protect it from the striking of high kinetic energy abrasive particles and helped in diminishing the porous nature of workpiece.…”

Nowadays, the utilization of natural fiber reinforced composite has increased frequently. These natural fibers have significant features like low cost, renewable, and, more importantly, biodegradable in nature, making them to be utilized for various industrial sectors. However, the massive demand for natural fiber reinforced composites (NFRC), forces them to be machined and operated, which is required for countless areas in multiple industries like automotive, marine, aerospace and constructions. But before obtaining the final shape of any specimen, this specimen should come across numerous machining processes to get the desired shape and structure. Therefore, the present review paper focused on the various aspects during conventional and unconventional machining of the NFRC. It covers the work by exploring the influence of all input variables on the outcome produced after machining the NFRC. Various methodologies and tools are also discussed in this article for reducing the machining defects. The machining of the NFRC is found as a challenging task due to insufficient interlocking between the matrix and fibers, and minimum knowledge in machining characteristics and appropriate input parameters. Thus, this review is trying to assist the readers to grasp a basic understanding and information during the machining of the NFRC in every aspect.
