Machining of FRP Composites by Abrasive Jet Machining Optimization Using Taguchi

Description

Abrasive Jet Machining is an Unconventional
machining process in which the metal is removed from brittle and
hard material in the form of micro-chips. With increase in need of
materials like ceramics, composites, in manufacturing of various
Mechanical & Electronic components, AJM has become a useful
technique for micro machining. The present study highlights the
influence of different parameters like Pressure, SOD, Time, Abrasive
grain size, nozzle diameter on the Metal removal of FRP (Fiber
Reinforced Polymer) composite by Abrasive jet machining. The
results of the Experiments conducted were analyzed and optimized
with TAGUCHI method of Optimization and ANOVA for Optimal
Value.
