Investigation and Optimization of Process Parameters of Abrasive Water Jet Cutting on C360 Brass Alloy through Design of Experiments

Abstract

Many scientists concentrate on features of water jet cutting by researching various input parameters, abrasive mesh sizes to improve improved processing conditions without the expense. In this work, the treatment of abrasive water jet should be planned to ensure minimal surface roughness and maximum substrate removal. C360 brass alloy is considered to optimize the parameters for cutting including the abrasive feed, stand-off distance and nozzle speeds via the design of experiments supported with response surface methodology.
