Abstract

Conventional methods are difficult to use for machining hard materials. The non-conventional techniques like Abrasive Air Jet Machine (AAJM) are suitable for machining hard materials. The main objective is to evaluate and optimize the machining parameters of Magnesium alloy (AZ91D) / Graphene (MMC) and Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) using Abrasive air jet machine. In this study, we examined the influence of multiple process parameters on the predominant machining criteria for metal removal rate (MRR), including air pressure, stand-off distance and time. Sic particles were used as an abrasive particle during machining process. In addition to analyzing and optimizing the machining parameters of an abrasive jet machine, Taguchi's L9 is used to determine the Material Removal Rate (MRR) and the kerf taper angle (θ) during the machining process. Based on the experimental results, the machining parameters like pressure and stand of distance influenced the material removal rate.
