Abstract
Abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting is one of the fastest growing machining processes which can machine almost any engineering material. However, the cutting capability of AWJ in terms of kerf quality is one of the major obstructions limiting its applications. Kerf angle, an important cutting performance measure, is a special geometric feature inherent to AWJ machining and its high values are undesirable. It reflects the inclination of the kerf wall from the top surface to the bottom of the kerf. In this study, effects of process parameters of the aluminium honeycomb on the kerf angle are experimentally investigated. The design philosophy of Taguchi was followed to conduct experiments.
