COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ABRASIVE JET MACHINING ON VARIOUS MATERIALS

This paper presents the comparative analysis of abrasive jet machining of various materials namely Glass, Ceramics, Epoxy and FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) based on experimental results. AJM (Abrasive Jet Machining) is performed on these materials and are compared and analyzed the optimal values based on the graphical results. Graphs are plotted between the Kerf ratio and the Stand-off-distance to obtain optimum Stand-off-distance and also between the Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Pressure and are compared. In this paper we have discussed the effects of Pressure, Stand-off-distance and Kerf ratio on the generated shape .The effects of Pressure, Stand-off-distance, and Kerf ratio along with the MRR are compared with the materials. We performed this experiment such that the results will be helpful for any further studies on these materials and AJM process. The results are compared with earlier Abrasive Jet Machining Process and are found satisfactory .Conclusions are drawn from our experiment based on the Results.
