Abstract
This work describes an investigation of the formation of the surface topography during abrasive waterjet machining. The experiments involved recording of the surface profile and nozzle vibration. The Fourier transform was used to determine the characteristics of the resulting interface show that pattern of the surfaces is uniform and the distinction between the various regions of the generated surface is quantitative (the amplitude of the surface unevenness). It was also found that there is a strong correlation between nozzle vibration and the waviness of the generated surfaces.
