Literature Review on Abrasive Jet Machining

Mechanical Engineering

The abrasive jet machining is an effective non-traditional machining process wherein material removal is effected by the erosive action of a high velocity jet of a gas, carrying fine-grained abrasive particles, impacting the work surface for variety of materials. With the increase of needs for machining of ceramics, semiconductors, electronic devices and L.C.D., AJM has become a useful technique for micromachining. The study shows that the AJM process the material removal rate is greatly influenced by certain parameters such as nozzle design, standoff distance, velocity and pressure of jet, shape and size of abrasive particle. This paper gives an overview of previously carried research on process parameters and development of Abrasive Jet Machining and Abrasive Water Jet Machining. Further challenges and scope of future development in abrasive jet machining are also projected.
