Copyright © 1987 by THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS All Rights Reserved Printed in USA FOREWORD The U.S. Water Jet Conference, held every two years, provides a forum for research workers and 4 practitioners to exchange information and ideas on a variety of topics in this developing area of technology. This year, as in the past, the research work is well represented. Much of it has to do with the fast-growing field of water jets with entrained abrasives. At previous meetings practitioners have been largely representatives from the rock and concrete cutting, mining, and cleaning industries. While these industries are amply represented, this year, for the first time, emphasis also is being placed on the use of water jets in factories, reflecting the expanding applications for this technology to manufacturing industries. The papers selected for presentation at the conference represent an excellent state- of-the-art review of the many different aspects of this important and growing field. M. Hood D.

Hashish, Senior Research Scientist Flow Research Company Kent, Washington ABSTRACT The feasibility of milling with abrasive waterjets has been investigated in this research. Results of milling experiments indicate that abrasive waterjets have great potential to be used as a machining tool with advantages unmatched by existing techniques. Linear cutting experiments were first conducted on sample materials (aluminum, titanium and Inconel) to generate a data matrix. Cutting results indicate a similarity of trends among these materials. Also, data were correlated against a previously developed cutting model. Although there is a strong correlation between theory and experiments, accuracy of predictions must be improved for more precise machining prediction and planning. Single-pass milling tests were conducted to observe the geometry of produced slots and the nature of surface irregularity. Multiplass milling tests were conducted on such materials as aluminum, glass, titanium and graphite composites. Surface topography was found to be a function of cutting and abrasive parameters, and surface finish was found to be strongly affected by abrasive particle size. A comparison with other machining techniques is presented in this paper. Abrasive-waterjet milling is among the most efficient methods of energy utilization for material removal. INTRODUCTION The rapid growth of harder and difficult-to-machine materials over the past two decades necessitates the development of compatible machining techniques. Conventional edge tool machining may not be technically or economically adequate for the machining of such materials. New machining techniques have been correspondingly emerging to fill the gaps where conventional methods are inefficient. These new techniques employ different physical phenomena or energy utilization to remove material. For example, mechanical, thermal, chemical and radiation energy forms (Ref. 1 - 4) constitute over 15 different techniques of nontraditional machining methods. One of the most recent machining methods is the abrasive-waterjet (AWJ) technique. Abrasive-waterjets are formed in a small abrasive-jet nozzle, as shown in Figure 1. Water is pressurized up to 400 MPa and expelled through a sapphire orifice to form a coherent, high-velocity waterjet (5). The waterjet and a stream of solid abrasives are introduced into a hard-material mixing and accelerating tube. Here, part of the waterjet's momentum is transferred to the abrasive particles, whose velocities rapidly increase. Typical particle velocities are 300-600 m/s with mass flow rates of about 10 g/s. A focused, high-velocity abrasive-waterjet exits the accelerator nozzle and performs the cutting action. Cutting or controlled depth penetration (milling) of the target material occurs as a result of complex erosion phenomena. 1 Figure 1. Abrasive-Waterjet Nozzle concept. The cutting rate can be controlled by adjusting the abrasive-waterjet parameters, which include: • Hydraulic parameters - Waterjet orifice diameter - Supply pressure • Abrasive parameters - Material (density, hardness, shape) - Size - Flow rate - Feed method (force feed or suction) - Abrasive condition (dry or slurry) • Mixing nozzle parameters - Mixing chamber dimensions - Nozzle material •Cutting parameters - Traverse rate - Number of passes - Standoff distance - Angle of cutting In this paper, a model of the AWJ cutting process is first employed to guide the milling experiments. Single-pass and multiple-pass milling experiments are then described. Finally, a comparison with another technique is presented. 2 MODEL EMPLOYMENT Three materials were used to conduct linear cutting tests: aluminum, titanium and Inconel. Hydraulic, abrasive, mixing and cutting parameters were varied to generate a data matrix on the effects of these materials on depth of cut. The main objectives of generating this data matrix are to: • Use data to verify a prediction model. • Use the prediction model, if adequate, to forecast a machining strategy. • Observe the geometrical quality of cuts. - Roughness of produced surface - Variation of depth of cut along the direction of traverse The following is a discussion of this effort: Review of Model Cutting with abrasive-waterjets has been found to consist of two modes (6,7): the cutting wear mode occurs by the impact of particles at shallow angles (8), and the deformation wear mode occurs by impacts at large angles (9,10). The first mode results in a steady-state cutting interface, while the second is unsteady. The relative contribution of each mode to the total depth of cut depends on the traverse rate. Above a critical traverse rate, the cutting will be due only to the deformation wear mode. The total depth of cut (h) can be expressed with a simplified model as m v2 2m (1 - c)v 2 h = a + a (1) 8 u u d j where V is the jet velocity, s is

  • Lapping Plate
    Lapping Plate 05M20.20 Patent Pending Lapping is the process of rubbing two surfaces together with an abrasive and a lubricant to improve the quality of at least one of the surfaces. Although lapping can be used to create fl at surfaces, in the context of woodworking, lapping better serves to minimize the roughness of a surface – known as surface conditioning. By minimizing the roughness in the sole of a plane, there is reduced friction between the plane and the workpiece, which in turn reduces abrasion. For blades or chisels, the cutting edge can be made sharper if both intersecting surfaces are free of scratches, even if the back of the blade isn’t perfectly fl at. Straight cutting edge on a lapped blade. Jagged cutting edge on a ground blade. Figure 1: A ground blade versus a lapped blade. Lapping can remove only small amounts of material. If the sole of your plane or the back of your blade is twisted, wavy or bowed, it will be necessary to sand or grind off the high points prior to lapping. Lapping is always performed with an abrasive oil slurry, which not only allows the object to slide Small Abrasive about the lapping plate (called a lap), but also Particles provides a means to remove abraded particles and worn abrasive. Oil Object Abraded Metal Lap Groove in Lap Large Abrasive Particles Figure 2: Lapping mechanics. 2 Important Notes The lapping plate is made of soft iron and will wear over time. These instructions provide information on how to ensure the lap remains fl at for a lifetime.

  • Paul Sellers' Workbench Measurements and Cutting
    PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST NOTE When putting together the cutting list for my workbench, I worked in imperial, the system with which I am most comfortable. I was not happy, however, to then provide direct conversions to metric because to be accurate and ensure an exact fit this would involve providing measurements in fractions of millimetres. When I do work in metric I find it more comfortable to work with rounded numbers, therefore I have created two slightly different sets of measurements. This means that in places the imperial measurement given is not a direct conversion of the metric measurement given. Therefore, I suggest you choose one or other of the systems and follow it throughout. © 2017 – Paul Sellers v2 PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST WOOD QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) 4 Leg 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” x 34 ⅜” 70 x 95 x 875mm 1 Benchtop 2 ⅜” x 12” x 66” 65 x 300 x 1680mm 2 Apron 1 ⅝” x 11 ½” x 66” 40 x 290 x 1680mm 1 Wellboard 1” x 12 ½” x 66” 25 x 320 x 1680mm 4 Rail 1 ½” x 6” x 26” 40 x 150 x 654mm 2 Bearer 1 ¼” x 3 ¾” x 25” 30 x 95 x 630mm 4 Wedge ⅝” x 1 ½” x 9” 16 x 40 x 228mm 4 Wedge retainer ⅝” x 1 ½” x 4” 16 x 40 x 100mm HARDWARE QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) 1 Vise 9” 225mm Dome head bolts (including nuts and washers) for 4 ⅜” x 5” 10 x 130mm bolting legs to aprons 2 Lag screws (with washers) for underside of vise ½” x 2 ½” 12 x 65mm 2 Lag screws for face
