Development of water jet cutting and study on different parameters

Waterjet machining is one of the emerging technology for machining hard materials that are very hard to machine by traditional machining processes. A high-velocity jet of water with abrasive particles gives eco-friendly and relatively economical machining options for cutting, which make leading machining technology in a short span. This paper reviews the work from the start to the development of waterjet machining within the past two decades. The work also points toward the improvement of performance regarding control and monitoring of different machining parameter i-e material removing rate, standoff distance, traverse speed, kerf width & surface roughness.
