Analysis And Optimization Of Process Parameters In Abrasive Waterjet Contour Cutting Of Aisi 304l, Jennifer M. Llanto, Ana Vafadar, Muhammad Aamir, Majid Tolouei-Rad
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Abrasive waterjet machining is applied in various industries for contour cutting of heat-sensitive and difficult-to-cut materials like austenitic stainless steel 304L, with the goal of en-suring high surface integrity and efficiency. In alignment with this manufacturing aspiration, experimental analysis and optimization were carried out on abrasive waterjet machining of austenitic stainless steel 304L with the objectives of minimizing surface roughness and maximizing material removal rate. In this machining process, process parameters are critical factors influencing contour cutting performance. Accordingly, Taguchi’s S/N ratio method has been used in this study for the optimization of process parameters. Further in this work, the …

Impacts Of Traverse Speed And Material Thickness On Abrasive Waterjet Contour Cutting Of Austenitic Stainless Steel Aisi 304l, Jennifer Milaor Llanto, Majid Tolouei Rad, Ana Vafadar, Muhammad Aamir
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Abrasive water jet machining is a proficient alternative for cutting difficult-to-machine materials with complex geometries, such as austenitic stainless steel 304L (AISI304L). However, due to differences in machining responses for varied material conditions, the abrasive waterjet machining experiences challenges including kerf geometric inaccuracy and low material removal rate. In this study, an abrasive waterjet machining is employed to perform contour cutting of different profiles to investigate the impacts of traverse speed and material thickness in achieving lower kerf taper angle and higher material removal rate. Based on experimental investigation, a trend of decreasing the level of traverse speed and material …
