Abstract

Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) can virtually cut any material, leaving a sand-blasted like surface, free of thermal distortion. However, the poor quality striated surfaces obtained at the jet exit side, require post processing operations. Therefore, proper selection of cutting parameters is necessary for obtaining good quality AWJ cutting. In the present work, a standard L 27(313) orthogonal array based on Taguchi design of experiments is used for AWJC of glass-epoxy composites. The experimental results and ANOVA indicate that quality level has the most significant influence on surface roughness. A small amount of ply delamination is also observed on the jet exit side. © BHR Group 2008 Water Jetting 19.
