Application of Silicon Carbide in Abrasive Water Jet Machining

“…Generally, water jets are used for (Momber W. & Kovacevic, R., 1998) 1. industrial cleaning 2. surface preparation 3. paint, enamel and coating stripping 4. concrete hydrodemolition 5. rock fragmentation 6. solid stabilization 7. decontamination 8. demolition 9. metal recycling 10. manufacturing operations In the area of manufacturing, the water jet-technique is used mainly for material cutting by plain water jets (e.g., plastics, thin metal sheets, textiles, foam, very hard materials like carbides, very soft materials like rubber, etc.). Sometimes burrs are formed due to machining of metals by conventional techniques.…”

“…The author is also grateful to Momber W. & Kovacevic, R. (1998), since some information has been taken from their book.…”

Robust Design Based Optimisation of Waterjet Cutting

“…Waterjet machining has become possible in the 1970s with the launching of dedicated pumps [1], [2]. The first cutting installations were developed allowing increased performance of machining.…”

The Effect of Process Parameters on Machining Volume and Depth Of Cut In Turning Operation Of AISI 1040 Steel With Abrasive Water Jet

“…ASJ yöntemi, işlenebilmesi zor olan (seramik, kompozit, titanyum vb.) çok sert alaşımların kesiminde yaygın bir şekilde kullanılır hale gelmiştir [21][22][23][24]. Talaş kaldırma hacmi işlemi, aşındırıcı parçacıkların iş parçası yüzeyine çarpması sonucu erozyona neden olmasıyla meydana gelir [25].…”
