Abstract: The engineering and manufacturing departments are constantly on the look of edge. The water jet machining process provides many unique capabilities and advantages that can prove very effective cost. Learning more about water jet technologies will give us an opportunity to put these cost cutting capabilities to work. The water jet washes away the materials that “ERODES” from the surface of the work piece. The crack caused by the water jet impact is exposed to water jet. The extreme pressure and impact of particles in the following stream cause the small crack to propagate until the material cut. Water Jet Machining (WJM) is the process of material removal from a work piece by the application of a high speed stream of abrasive particles carried in a gas medium from a nozzle. The material removal process is mainly by erosion. The WJM will chiefly be used to cut shapes in hard and brittle materials like glass, ceramics etc. Care has been taken to use less fabricated components rather than directly procuring them, because, the lack of accuracy in fabricated components would lead to a diminished performance of the machine.
Keywords: WJM – Water Jet Machining.
