Abstract

Abrasive jet system is one of the effective tools and found several present and future applications in many manufacturing industries and R&D sectors. In the form of abrasive jet it is used for machining like cutting, drilling, and engraving of brittle materials. Surface fast cleaning and preparation are done by using abrasive jet for welding and plasma spray coatings. The erosion tests of turbine blades, propellers are done by using abrasive jet application. Some special type of particles are used for shot peening for surface hardening. An abrasive jet system is in-house designed and manufactured and its performance is observed in various applications like machining, cleaning, and erosion tests. In this present research work, a critical review has been done on various applications of abrasive jet systems. Based on the present status of work, the application possibilities of the present abrasive jet system is experimentally evaluated. It is evident that the abrasive jet system using natural sand can be used for cutting, drilling and engraving of brittle material like glass, marble, etc. Rust cleaning from the metal surface and erosion tests of metal matrix composite laser coatings are also performed by using the same abrasive jet system.
