Performance Evaluation of Working Model of Abrasive Jet Machining

Abstract

Primarily focuses on the analysis the performance and design of the machine that uses mixture of air and abrasive particle to flow it at high pressure to hit work piece at high velocity to perform process, and is entitled as Abrasive Jet Machine. The basic objective of this paper is to come up with mechanical machine that can be operated easily and reliably with the help of simple elements, to provide appropriate amount of efficiency in a quick response and easy way. As abrasive jet machine (AJM) is the equally consider as sand basting process and effectively capable of removing hard and brittle materials. It’s the future crucial machine because work on fabric and brittle material is increasing day by day. It is verified for micro machining. There are various factors which are analysed while processing such as the type of abrasive materials, material removal rate (MRR), diameter of holes, nozzle tip distance (NTD), and erosion rate.
