Investigation on new type of doubly blending abrasive water jet nozzle system with higher performance

摘要

Based on the two existing abrasive water-jet(AWJ) systems, the dia-jet (or pre-jet) and the post-jet, a new type of abrasive water-jet system is put forward, which combines the dia-jet's advantage, low operating system pressure, slender stream jet, and more concentrative abrasive in the blended stream, with merits of post-jet, the less sophisticate apparatus, successive supply of abrasives. The theoretic analysis is brought out in detail, and the nozzle system structure is concisely illustrated. Its relevant experiment results are demonstrated, proving that this new system is effective in various aspects, enlarging penetrating capability without raising system pressure, saving machining power supply, lessening energy loss, etc.
