    i have gone through so many research papers but i didn't find that any paper on abrasive water jet cutting of High carbon steel.

    can we cut High carbon steel with the help of Abrasive water jet machine?
    if yes,than what parameter and range of various parameters should consider for better surface quality.and if no then why?



    please give e solution asap.

    The intensity of water flow along with the pressure with which the water is forced out

    Other words the width of the nozzle is the major factor

    water flow velocity, along with the pressure in the pump, and also the distance between the nozzle tip and the workpiece surface.

    Adding to this, i'd say the type and size of abrasive material would matter a lot.

    Hey buddy we are using water jet as an abrasive here How can we know what type water takes 😨

    just water can't cut any metal.
    we need to add some abrasive material such as sand/Calcium carbonate. and then throw this mixture through jet.

    Hey friend I am not into this mach thing much But Fine sand is not a real strong abrasive and they have the potential of clogging the nozzle Can some more idea be given here. I don't get it

    Both CaCO3 and sand have clogging nature due to insoluble nature then How is it possible to maintain a very fine nozzle tomaintain the pressure and Velocity head


    PS: link has explained thanks

    Water jet machining actually makes use of the potential energy of a flowing water jet, and is used to cut only softer materials like leather, wood, cloth etc.

    this type of machining is employed by all German car makers to manufacture the car upholstery.

    Abrasive jet machining is a different thing altogether.

    Water jet cutting can be used for softer materials like rubber. For steels Abrasive Water-jet cutting, which uses water with an abrasive sand mixed in it will work fine.High speed and high pressure will give you the best surface finish.
