“…Despite the small amount of articles studying the drilling process by AWJ technology [9,10] and the machining of hybrid titanium/graphite composite laminates [11], it is possible to find several references which have done the characterization of Ti6Al4V and CFRP materials separately [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Escobar-Palafox et al [9] and Hussein Mohammed Ali Ibraheem et al [10] developed mathematical models for predicting the quality of the hole as a function of process parameters based on statistical analysis.…”

In the present study, CFRP/Ti6Al4V stacks were machined with abrasive water jet using different process parameters in order evaluate the viability of AWJ industrial application as a substitute of conventional drilling. The effect of the stack configuration, the traverse feed rate, the cutting tool (combination of orifice and focusing tube diameter and abrasive mass flow rate), and the pressure over the kerf profile, taper angle, and surface roughness has been analyzed through an ANOVA analysis and related to the physical parameters of the AWJ process. As a result, a positive taper angle is observed in Ti6Al4V while a negative is observed in CFRP in almost all cutting conditions. This leads to obtain an X-type or barrel-type kerf profile depending on the stack configuration. In addition, the surface roughness can be as low as 6.5 μm in both CFRP and Ti6Al4V materials at 95 mm/min when CFRP/Ti6Al4V configuration is used.

“…In the final years of the previous century, the basic research was oriented towards description of removal mechanisms [16][17][18]. The AWJ technology is used in technological processes of drilling, lathe-turning and threading, as well as in the process of improving and development of new, widely-used applications, e.g.…”

The paper deals with a study of relations between the measured Ra, Rq, Rz surface roughness parameters, the traverse speed of cutting head v and the vibration parameters, PtP, RMS, vRa , generated during abrasive water jet cutting of the AISI 309 stainless steel. Equations for prediction of the surface roughness parameters were derived according to the vibration parameter and the traverse speed of cutting head. Accuracy of the equations is described according to the Euclidean distances. The results are suitable for an on-line control model simulating abrasive water jet cutting and machining using an accompanying physical phenomenon for the process control which eliminates intervention of the operator.

“…The issue represented a concern to the authors such as Hashish [8], Chao and Geskin [28], Arola and Ramulu [6]. Boud et al [17] concentrated on the study of morphology and mechanical properties of the abrasive (abradant) and on the finished surface in case of titanium alloy cutting. The surface generated during cutting of glass fibre of epoxide composites was examined by the authors Azmir et al [18].…”

Original scientific paper The paper deals with the indirect ways of on-line monitoring of technological processes of cutting. The objective of the study is a design of on-line monitoring system for the cutting technology through an abrasive water jet. In cutting by the abrasive water jet two parallel phenomena are formed. The phenomena are represented by generated surface and vibrations. For the purpose of proving of the hypothetical assumptions on dependence of generated surface quality on vibrations the experiments utilizing stainless steel AISI 304 were performed. The experiments were realized at four diverse settings of cutting head traverse speed. The material vibrations were collected by means of two independent accelerometers PCB IMI 607 A11. One of the accelerometers was oriented towards the cutting direction and the other in direction perpendicular to cutting. Sampling frequency was of 30 kHz. The generated topography of the material was measured by an optical profilometer FRT MicroProf. The collected data were evaluated by a virtual tool developed in LabView 8.5 in the form of vibration analyses being consequently mutually compared. Both phenomena proved to be dependent on common technological cause, i.e. on cutting head traverse speed. At the same time the study offers a theoretical design of the on-line monitoring system and of the future heading of the research in this field. Keywords: abrasive water jet; monitoring, on-line; vibrations On-line praćenje tehnološkog postupka rezanja materijala abrazivnim vodenim mlazomIzvorni znanstveni članak Rad se bavi indirektnim načinima on-line praćenja tehnoloških postupaka rezanja u svrhu projektiranja on-line sustava praćenja primjenom tehnologije rezanja abrazivnim vodenim mlazom. Rezanjem abrazivnim vodenim mlazom javljaju se dva fenomena, a to su generirana površina i vibracije. U svrhu dokazivanja hipotetske pretpostavke ovisnosti kvalitete generirane površine o vibracijama, provedeni su eksperimenti s nehrđajućim čelikom AISI 304 s četiri različita podešavanja brzine prijelaza rezne glave. Vibracije materijala su se pratile pomoću dva odvojena akcelerometra PCB IMI 607 A11. Jedan je bio orijentiran na smjer rezanja, a drugi na pravac okomit na rezanje. Učestalost uzimanja uzorka bila je 30 kHz. Dobivena topografija materijala mjerena je optičkim profilometrom FRT MicroProf. Dobiveni su se rezultati proračunavali virtualnim alatom razvijenim u in LabView 8.5 u obliku analiza vibracija koje su se stalno međusobno uspoređivale. Pokazalo se da obadva fenomena ovise o zajedničkom tehnološkom razlogu, t.j. brzini prijelaza rezne glave. U isto vrijeme u radu se daje teoretski projekt on-line sustava praćenja i smjer budućeg istraživanja u ovom području.
