Abstract:A new manufacturing process with abrasive water jet is proposed to fabricate micro channels or dimples on glass. Masks having exposed areas cover the surface so that the covered areas cannot be machined. Because the width of the exposed areas is much smaller than the diameter of the jet nozzle, tapers are made in the cross section of the masks so that abrasive slurry can reach the exposed surface. Abrasive slurry is mixed with water supplied by a low-pressure pump in a water jet nozzle. When abrasive water flo… Show more
