Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) is a non-traditional machining process used for cutting ductile, brittle and hard materials. AWJ cuts almost all materials, absence of thermal distortion, high flexibility, smaller cutting forces, no heat affected zone and being environmentally friendly. In the present study an attempt has been made to study Depth of Cut (DOC) and Surface Roughness of laminated glass cut by AWJ. Jet Pressure (p), Speed of Traverse (u) and Flow rate of abrasive (ṁ) are varied at three different levels. A total of 27 experiments considering different levels of parameters have been carried out on a trapezoidal shaped laminated glass of 38 mm thickness. DOC is measured with height measuring gauge. The effect of parameters on surface roughness and DOC is obtained through main effect plot. Surface Roughness (Ra) values are measured at the wear region along cut direction. Dimensional analysis modelling for Ra is carried out to predict the model equation for Ra by Buckingham's π -method. Comparison of model average Ra and experimental average Ra is carried out to predict the suitability of the model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
