“…As these two parameters vary, most of the dispersion of results occurs, as shown in the slope of the graphs relating these parameters. It should be noted that the influence of WP and TFR on T formation is in good agreement with what has been previously determined by different authors in various materials [16][17][18]. The AMFR parameter has a minor influence compared to the other parameters.…”

“…The AMFR analysis reflects that the importance of this parameter is higher in this area than in the previous ones, reaching an F-value of 0.81 compared to 0.24 and 0.21 previously. This change of trend is in good agreement with what was found in [16,17] and is mainly due to the loss of penetration capacity of the jet as the material thickness increases, favoring the formation of RCR. Figure 14 shows the contour graph for the variable T as a function of the variables that show significance.…”

Metal matrix composite (MMC) materials are increasingly used in industrial sectors such as energy, structural, aerospace, and automotive. This is due to the improvement of properties by the addition of reinforcements. Thus, it is possible to obtain properties of higher strength, better rigidity, controlled thermal expansion, and elevated wear resistance. However, due to the extreme hardness achieved during their manufacture, these composites pose a challenge to the conventional machining industry due to the rapid deterioration experienced by cutting tools. This article therefore proposes the use of an unconventional machining method that is becoming increasingly widely used: abrasive water jet cutting. This process is characterized by high production rates, absence of wear, and environmental friendliness, among other advantages. Experimental tests were carried out in order to analyze results that minimize the formation of defects in the machining of metal matrix composite consisting of aluminium matrix with silicon carbide (Al-SiC MMC). To this end, results were analyzed using Scanning Optical and Electron Microscope (SOM/SEM) techniques, the taper angle was calculated, and areas with different surface quality were detected by measuring the roughness.

“…A similar observation was found in carbon fiber and hybrid carbon/glass composite, which depicts that SR was less at the entrance. After that, it increases gradually from top to bottom due to loss of penetration capability of the jet along with the depth of cut [30,54]. Kerf width decreased with increase in cutting depth due to loss of kinetic energy of jet and was highest in the initial damage zone, as shown in Fig.…”

“…Selvam et al [32] found optimal SR (3.37 μm) and kerf taper (0.408°) while machining hybrid carbon/glass composite at a jet pressure of 300 MPa, SOD of 2 mm, traverse speed of 137 mm/min) and AMFR of 454 g/min using RSM technique. Ming et al [54] found optimum SR (5.137 μm) at a jet pressure of 320 MPa), SOD of 2 mm, traverse rate of 1000 mm/min, and AMFR of 600 g/min while machining hybrid carbon/glass composite. MM.…”

Fiber-reinforced composites have established as a high-performance composite of modern advanced structures in various sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and marine industries. Non-conventional machining processes are preferred for the ease of manufacturing operations, which incorporates the machining of high strength and anisotropic material. Non-conventional manufacturing processes produce complicated shaped profiles and better surface characteristics. Abrasive water jet (AWJ) machining is an emerging technology that offers an excellent alternative among the various advanced machining processes due to its process capabilities and excellent machining quality. AWJ machining has fascinated immense attention in the fields of fiber-reinforced composite materials to produce intricate industrial components and attracted the researchers and production industries. It has become well-known in all key areas of researches. Over the past 30 years, lots of research work has been carried out to describe the machining performances among the studied process parameters. This paper reviews the research progresses and integrated functions of AWJ machining in terms of mechanism and machining performances, which includes aspects such as mathematical modeling and optimization. AWJ machining procedure and performance capability are reviewed and depicted in detail. Also, a comprehensive conclusion of this review, along with future perspective, is explored subsequently. The current review work will help future researchers for the proper selection of different FRP material composite compositions and AWJ machining parameters to achieve better performances. The collection of this review literature will also support the production operations in the future.
