Study on improving the efficiency of abrasive water jet machining

Process parameters are important factors affecting cutting efficiency. In order to get the best process parameters and improve the cutting efficiency, the relationship between the process parameters and cutting efficiency is studied and analyzed in this paper. Cutting efficiency can be expressed by the volume of material removed per unit time. At the beginning of the jet, the width of the slit is equal to the diameter of the abrasive nozzle. Then the cutting depth can represent the cutting efficiency.
