Abstract
Abrasive water jet turning is one of the recently developed manufacturing technologies. It has gained its importance due to its capability to machine difficult-to-cut material with advantages such as absence of thermal effects, high machining flexibility and little cutting force. In this study, the influence of water jet turning parameters such as abrasive type and abrasive mass flow rate has been analysed on the variation of diameter with the target diameter of metal matrix composite. Composite material A359/Al2O3/B4C fabricated by electromagnetic stir casting process was used in the experiment. To select the level of parameter, one-variable-at-a-time analysis was used. The results revealed that the abrasive type had a greater influence on the deviation of diameter from the target diameter as compared to mass flow rate.
