Özet

Abrasive water jet machine (AWJM) is used in industries to remove and shape the composite materials and other hard-to-cut engineering materials. In this study, experimental investigation on glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) using AWJ machine for cutting performance is discussed. There are various factors which influence the quality of the surface in AWJM. Water pressure, traverse speed, standoff distance, and abrasive mass flow rate are only several of the variables evaluated in this paper. Minitab 18’s Taguchi technique is utilised to design the experiment, and ANOVA is performed to determine the significance and impact of process factors on responses.
