Abstract
Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) has proven to be an effective technology for processing variety of engineering materials. In this study, research work involved in experimental investigation on cutting performance of AWJM of austenite steel (AISI 316L) is described. AWJM process is characterised by a number of process parameters that affects the quality of machining. In the present work, influence of three parameters, namely pressure, traverse rate and stand-off distance on surface finish of austenite steel (AISI 316L) is investigated. Full factorial experimental design is applied for experimentation. Analysis of variance is performed and an empirical model is developed by multilinear regression analysis for surface roughness. After experimental analysis, conformation test is done. The results obtained in the present work are compared successfully with the published literature.
