A Review on Optimization of Process Parameters of Abrasive Water jet Machining of Natural Fiber Based Polymer Composites

Abstract

The need of modern machining technique like AWJM is inevitable to produce complex components in the field of automobile, aerospace, marine, chemical and power plant industries. Several components have been produced using FRPCs with many intrinsic features for variety of applications. However, the influence of various parameters of AWJM on material performance is found to be scanty, the performance of NFRPCs on AWJM process has not been explored exhaustively. Taking all these aspects into account, the current review formulates a study of the AWJM performance of various NFRCs such as banana, coconut sheath and jute with respect to varying factors and to find the optimum conditions for AWJM operation. There are so many process parameters which affect the quality of machined surface cut by AWJM. But, the traverse speed, hydraulic pressure, stand-off distance, Abrasive flow rate and type of abrasive and performance measures such as Material Removal Rate (MRR), Surface Roughness (SR), Kerf width, Depth of cut are considered important .

Investigation on Mechanical Behaviour of Fiber-Reinforced Advanced Polymer Composite Materials

“…Epoxy Resin (LY566) with hardener (HY951) are utilised as the matrix material. The composite slabs are constructed using a manual construction technique with mild compaction 17) . Epoxy Resin (LY566) with hardener (HY951) are utilised as the matrix material, and bi-directional E-glass in addition to carbon fibres by a thickness of 0.2 mm are employed as the ply direction of 0/90 reinforcements.…”

“…It is known as a metal matrix composite 19) . In present investigation it was intended to investigate manufacturing of fibre reinforced polymer composites, as well as their mechanical characteristics, Metal matrix composites (MMCs), which are intrinsically intelligent, are a class of high-performance, lightweight materials that are constantly evolving 17,20) . The density of composites, which is based on the proportion of matrix to reinforcing components, is one of their key characteristics.…”
