The Cutting Front Side Geometry in The Applications of D3 Cold Work Tool Steel Material Via Abrasive Water Jet

Abstract

Abrasive water jet cutting that is used as cold cutting technology in industrial applications is preferred as most productive method when especially metallurgic and mechanic specialties of materials are taken into consideration. When the surface quality, speed of processing period and part cost are taken into consideration, which are targeted in D3 cold work tool steel materials used frequently in especially metal industry, it appears that the most appropriate method is abrasive water jet cutting. It is more difficult to obtain sharp corner and straight surfaces on water jet processing by especially like turning, milling, drilling and cutting methods. Aim of this study is to foreknow deviation amount in cutting geometry that is seen as one of the biggest disadvantages in abrasive water jet cutting and to enable to process by knowing whether the targeted surface tolerance is included or not. In addition, with aim of interpreting results and researching characteristic of surface that is obtained on D3 cold work tool steel material processing with abrasive water jet, lateral progressing speed and panel thickness were kept stable.

Key words: Cutting by abrasive water jet, Split of D3 cold work tool steel material by abrasive water jet, cutting front side geometry
