Abstract

In this work, Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM) on aluminum based hybrid composite with Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Boron Carbide (B4C) reinforcement particles are investigated. Two different abrasive grain sizes of 80 mesh and 120 mesh are selected to carry out the experiments. The cutting parameters namely pressure, standoff distance (SOD) and traverse speed are assessed in terms of the kerf angle, Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Surface Roughness (Ra). The result shows that the coarse abrasive particle has a favorable effect on the MRR, while the fine grained abrasive particle produced minimum kerf angle and good surface finish.
