“…Tripathi et al [8] investigated the influence of cutting speed and abrasive flow rate on MMR of AJWC of GFRP composites, using a Taguchi design of experiment, and concluded that cutting speed is the most influencing variable. In addition, they determined the optimized parametric settings for achieving a maximum MRR.…”

In recent decades, the use of composite materials has spread widely in a variety of industries, from consumer goods to aeronautics and automotive. This trend is mainly explained by the functional properties of these materials, such as specific strength or specific stiffness, which make them suitable for structural applications. Kevlar fiber-reinforced polymer composites are difficult to process using conventional methods, so non-traditional ones, like abrasive water jet machining became an alternative. This process has some advantages, such as the ability to cut complicated shape parts of different size and thickness, with high precision. However, the selection of operating parameters to provide a complete database, tailored to carry out efficient and effective processes, remains a challenge. Due to the complexity of the phenomena in the workspace, analytical modeling of the process is difficult and has limited validity by the simplified hypotheses formulated previously. On the contrary, the models developed following empirical research have proved their importance in industrial practice, leading to the estimation of processing results, with high confidence levels. Therefore, the experimental study was performed by applying design of experiments methods, in order to test the influence and to model the action of process parameters on the material removal rate of abrasive water jet cutting. The research also focused on the precision characteristics of the cut parts. Finally, the response surfaces and contour plots were represented, useful for identifying the sets of the process parameters that provide the required values for the objective functions investigated.

“…Drilling of composites has been very challenging machining operation and from past two decades the research has been continuously thriving in order to obtain a uniform hole quality in composites. Various non-traditional methods of machining are carried out on composites such as abrasive water jet machining (Hejjaji et al, 2017;Tripathi et al, 2020), laser machining (Akman et al, 2019;Gautam & Singh, 2018;Jaeschke et al, 2018;Park et al, 2019), and electrical discharge machining (Islam et al, 2017;Lau et al, 1990;Mazarbhuiya et al, 2020). Drilling and other machining techniques determine the significant role of composites in applications such as automobile, aerospace, and other industries (Cavalier et al, 2006;Godara & Nagar, 2020;Pervaiz et al, 2016;Prolongo et al, 2009;Rezaei et al, 2008).…”

Carbon fiber-reinforced composite laminates are progressively appealing for several applications in various manufacturing sectors such as aeronautical and automobile, because of their amazingly predominant mechanical properties. This has subsequently led to an increase in research of various machinability techniques emphasizing on both conventional and non-conventional methods. Typically, conventional drilling is one of the most significant machining processes for most kinds of fiber composite laminates. The most unsolicited damage termed as delamination during drilling has recently become one of the most influential research subjects as numerous engineers in manufacturing sector have been trying to prevent this problem over decades. This review paper briefly discusses about the incorporation of different types of fillers in carbon fiber-reinforced composites. The paper also summarizes the steady progress in drilling-induced delamination of carbon fiber laminates. It covers the delamination formation mechanism, delamination suppression strategies, and the optimization of various drilling parameters to reduce the delamination damage. The present article provides researchers an opportunity to deepen their knowledge on specific aspects by exploring different methods for reducing delamination in CFRP composites.

“…In the suspension-type AWJ machining technique, a suspension mixture (also called slurry) made of water, abrasives, and a polymer is prepared beforehand and directed through a nozzle at high pressures to form a fine jet. Several studies have been conducted on the suspension-type AWJ machining of different materials, viz., glass fibre-reinforced plastic composites [5,6], discontinuously reinforced Caryota urens fibre polyester composites [7], titanium alloy [8], mild steel [9], etc., as per Taguchi's L 9 orthogonal array (OA) to save the material cost, reduce the number of experiments and to evaluate the effect of respective process parameters on performance. Ramesha et al [6] compared the effect of process parameters (namely Abrasive size, stand-off distance, abrasive concentration, and traverse rate) on kerf width and surface roughness while using the suspension-type AWJ technique for machining glass fibre-reinforced plastic composites.…”

The suspension parameters are vital in the suspension-type abrasive water jet (AWJ) machining of several engineering materials, more so in difficult-to-cut materials, because it significantly influences the suspension stability and sedimentation behaviour of the suspension mixture and abrasive particle acceleration into the AWJs. The suspension stability and abrasive particle acceleration of the suspension-type AWJs are improved by using polymer additives. Hence, it is necessary to study the effect of suspension parameters (abrasive and polymer concentrations) on suspension stability. In this direction, the novel work reported in the paper analyses the stability of suspension by varying the mass percentage of abrasives (garnet and aluminum oxide (Al2O3)) (ωa) and mass percentage of the zycoprint polymer (ωp) in water by considering the Taguchi L9 Orthogonal array (OA). The linear regression (LR) models for the percentage of suspension volume with garnet (VsG) and the percentage of suspension volume with Al2O3 (VsA), are developed. The JAYA algorithm is used to find the optimal combination of the suspension parameters, and its results are in close agreement with the findings from the LR results. The optimum setting of the suspension parameters for both, VsG and VsA, is 3% of ωa and 0.80% of ωp.
