Depth of cut models for multipass abrasive waterjet cutting of alumina ceramics with nozzle oscillation
Tóm tắt
An experimental study of the depth of cut in multipass abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting of alumina ceramics with controlled nozzle oscillation is presented. It is found that this cutting technique can significantly increase the depth of cut by an average of 50.8% as compared to single pass cutting without nozzle oscillation under the corresponding cutting conditions and within the same cutting time. Predictive models for the depth of cut are then developed. The modelling process starts with single pass cutting using a dimensional analysis technique and the particle erosion theories applied to alumina ceramics, before progressing to the development of the models for multipass cutting. The models are finally assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively with experimental data. It is shown that the model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data with the average deviations of about 1%.
