A Study of Cut Surface after the Abrasive Water Jet Application on the MS1 Material Prepared by DMLS Method

Abstract

This contribution deals with the study of cut surface after the abrasive water jet application on the material Maraging Steel MS-1, prepared by the 3D printing method Direct Metal Laser Sintering. The aim of the study is to point out the morphology of the cut plane under the use of various technological parameters, like feed rate of machining and abrasive mass flow at the constant cut pressure. For the track morphology monitoring after the abrasive water jet application, scanning electron microscope was used. For the identification of observed particles stabbed in the cut track, chemical composition EDX analysis was used.
