Abstract: Abrasive waterjet cutting is one of the unconventional cutting processes capable of cutting extensive range of difficult-to-cut materials. This paper assesses the impact of process parameters on surface roughness which is a significant machining performance measure in abrasive waterjet cutting of hastelloy. The experimental parameters were selected based on Taguch’s design of experiments. Experiments were conducted in varying nozzle traverse speed, abrasive mass flow rate and standoff distance for cutting hastelloy using abrasive waterjet cutting process. The effects of these parameters on surface roughness have been discussed.
Keywords: Hastelloy; Mass Flow Rate; Traverse Speed; Standoff Distance; Garnet.
