Delft, May 2008, Vu Ngoc Pi ii Summary Abrasive Waterjet (AWJ) Machining is a recent non-traditional machining process. Major part of this technology is a very high-pressure beam of water and abrasives, which is used for machining. The typical water pressure ranges from 300 to 380 MPa and the typical beam diameter varies between 0.6 and 1.2 mm. This technology is widely used in industry for cutting difficult-to-machine- materials, milling slots, polishing hard materials, cleaning contaminated surfaces, etc. AWJ machining has many advantages, e.g. it can cut net-shape parts, no heat is generated during the cutting process, it is particularly environmentally friendly as it is clean and it does not create dust. Although AWJ machining has many advantages, a big disadvantage of this technology is its relatively high cutting cost. Consequently, the reduction of the machining cost and the increase of the profit rate are big challenges in AWJ technology. To reduce the total cutting cost as well as to increase the profit rate, this research focuses on performance enhancement of AWJ cutting with two possible solutions including optimization in the cutting process and abrasive recycling. The first solution to enhance the AWJ cutting performance is the optimization of the AWJ cutting process. As a precondition, it is necessary to have a cutting process model for optimization. In order to use that model for this purpose, several important requirements are given. The most important requirement for such a model is that it can describe the “optimum relation” between the optimum abrasive mass flow rate and the maximum depth of cut. To develop a cutting process model which can be used for the AWJ optimization, many available models have been analyzed. Since the most important requirement for a process model (see above) can be obtained from Hoogstrate’s model, an extension of this model is carried out. The extension model consists of three sub-models including pure waterjet model, abrasive waterjet model and abrasive-work material interaction model. The pure waterjet model enables to determine the energy transfer from pressurized water to the pure waterjet. The abrasive waterjet model is used to calculate the energy transfer from pure waterjet to the abrasive particles. The abrasive– work material interaction model is used to identify the relation between the work material characteristics, the abrasive characteristics and the cutting efficiency in the process of removing work material chips by using the kinetic energy of abrasive particles. The extension cutting process model is more accurate than the original one and it is capable to iii optimize AWJ systems. The influence of many process parameters such as the water pressure, the abrasive mass flow rate, the nozzle diameter, the abrasive particle diameter etc. have been taken into account. By modeling the work material coefficient, the extension model can be used for various work materials. Also, by giving a model for the abrasive material coefficient, the model can be applied for several most common abrasive types. Up to now, there has not been a model for the prediction of AWJ nozzle wear. Therefore, modeling the nozzle wear rate has been carried out and a model for the wear rate of nozzles made from composite carbide has been proposed. The model can be used in the optimization problems as well as in the calculation of the AWJ cutting regime. Based on the extension cutting process model, two types of optimization applications have been carried out. They are related to technical problems and economical problems. The optimization problems have been solved in order to determine the optimum exchange nozzle diameter and the optimum abrasive mass flow rate for getting different objectives including the maximum depth of cut (for technical problems), the minimum total cutting cost and the maximum profit rate (for the economical problems). From the results of these considerations, regression models for determining the optimum nozzle exchange diameter and the optimum abrasive mass flow rate for various objectives have been proposed. In AWJ machining, there are many cutting process parameters. Therefore, the ways to select other process parameters optimumly have also been investigated. The procedure for the determination of an optimum cutting regime then is given. The other solution to enhance the cutting performance is abrasive recycling. In the present study, GMA garnet, the most popular abrasives for blast cleaning and waterjet cutting, has been chosen for the investigation. The recycling of GMA abrasives has been investigated on both technical side and economical side. On the technical side, the reusability and the cutting performance of the recycled and recharged abrasives have been analysed. The influence of the recycled and recharged abrasives on the cutting quality was studied. Also, the optimum particle size of recycled and recharged abrasives for the maximum cutting performance has been detected. On the economical side, first, the prediction of the cost of recycled and recharged abrasives was done. Then, the economic comparisons for selecting abrasives have been carried out. In addition, the economics of cutting with recycled and recharged abrasives have been studied. Several suggestions for an abrasive recycling process which promises a more effective use of the grains have been proposed. By optimization in the cutting process and by abrasive recycling, the cutting performance can be increased, the total cutting cost can be reduced, and the profit rate can be enlarged considerably. Consequently, the performance of AWJ cutting can be enhanced significantly. iv Samenvatting Abrasief waterstraal snijden (AWS) is een recent, niet conventioneel verspaningsproces.

  • MODULE 5 – Measuring Tools
    INTRODUCTION TO MACHINING 2. MEASURING TOOLS AND PROCESSES: In this chapter we will only look at those instruments which would typically be used during and at the end of a fabrication process. Such instruments would be capable of measuring up to 4 decimal places in the inch system and up to 3 decimal places in the metric system. Higher precision is normally not required in shop settings. The discrimination of a measuring instrument is the number of “segments” to which it divides the basic unit of length it is using for measurement. As a rule of thumb: the discrimination of the instrument should be ~10 times finer than the dimension specified. For example if a dimension of 25.5 [mm] is specified, an instrument that is capable of measuring to 0.01 or 0.02 [mm] should be used; if the specified dimension is 25.50 [mm], then the instrument’s discrimination should be 0.001 or 0.002 [mm]. The tools discussed here can be divided into 2 categories: direct measuring tools and indirect measuring or comparator tools. 50 INTRODUCTION TO MACHINING 2.1 Terminology: Accuracy: can have two meanings: it may describe the conformance of a specific dimension with the intended value (e.g.: an end-mill has a specific diameter stamped on its shank; if that value is confirmed by using the appropriate measuring device, then the end-mill diameter is said to be accurate). Accuracy may also refer to the act of measuring: if the machinist uses a steel rule to verify the diameter of the end-mill, then the act of measuring is not accurate.

Founded in 1906 by innovative young engineer, Frank Moore, Moore & Wright has been designing, manufacturing and supplying precision measuring equipment to global industry for over 100 years. With roots fixed firmly in Sheffield, England, the company began by manufacturing a range of calipers, screwdrivers, punches and other engineer’s tools. Following investment from Mrs Wright, a shrewd Sheffield businesswoman, Frank was able to expand the business and further develop his innovative designs. By the mid-nineteen twenties, thanks to the company’s enviable reputation, Moore & Wright was approached by the UK Government to consider manufacturing a range of quality micrometers. It was in this field that Moore & Wright’s status as UK agent for the Swiss Avia range of products and subsequent acquisition of the Avia brand and manufacturing rights, proved invaluable.
