Low Pressure Abrasive Suspension Jet Machining. Final Report

摘要

The primary objective of this research effort was the development andcharacterization of abrasive carrying suspension media for use in abrasive suspension jet machining. The use of such materials for machining substantially simplifies the equipment and consumable tools used in abrasive waterjet processes, and also offers the potential for improvements in accuracy and versatility of the process. This effort culminated in the specification of design requirements for a prototype system incorporating the developed technology.
