Cutting of Aluminium Alloy by Abrasive Waterjet

Abstract

Aluminium sheets are cut several times by abrasive waterjet cutting. The article summarizes the experimental results accomplished for determination of connection between the technological parameters and the depth of kerf. So we defined, how the depths of kerf depends on parameters (f, m, p) investigated during the research. Beyond the graphical representation of the results, we defined mathematical connection in the paper, with which the depth of kerf can be determined at given cutting parameters, before the machining process.
