An Experimental Study of Abrasive Waterjet for Deburring

Abstract:

Deburring is a major bottleneck in manufacturing organizations. Burrs on the milled surface need to be removed and the surface quality must be maintained. Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) has been used in various operation for a wide range of materials. But no detailed investigations are known to be carried out on AWJ deburring. An orthogonal experiment is designed to investigate the effects of the AWJ parameters on burr removal and on surface quality. The results show that AWJ can remove the burrs from the stainless-steel specimens effectively under the condition of proper parameters, and the parameters such as abrasive grit size and stand-off distance are important not only for burr removal but also for surface quality, and slurry concentration is another important factor for surface quality.
