Optimization of cutting process of AISI 316 L corrosion resistant steel with hydro abrasive jet

摘要

Modern technological development is characterized by discovering a large number of new and advanced materials for which the standard machining processing that currently prevails in industry from technical and economic point of view is often difficult to achieve. Due to the inability of fulfilling all the requirements of modern technology, application of non-conventional machining processes such as hydro abrasive cutting is more significant. The paper focuses on the verification of the thesis whether the standard operations such as milling could be replaced by non-conventional machining process of hydro abrasive cutting while maintaining the required quality of the processed surface. If the thesis is accepted, it is necessary to specify the maximum cutting depth to which to achieve the required quality of surface material machining is possible with minimal consumption of resources.
