Evaluation of Selected Parameters after Abrasive Water Jet Cutting of Wood Plastic Composite

Abstract

Paper deals with cutting of composite material with natural reinforcement by AWJ (Abrasive Water Jet). The samples were cut with four different abrasive mass flow (from 150-300 g.min-1) and different traverse speeds (depending on the required cut quality Q according standard list). SN 214001 standard is used for evaluating of one selected parameter – edge radius (rk) by used a digital microscope. After the cutting, the weight loss/gain of the samples of the individual sets are also evaluated and conclusions formulated.
