The Wear of the Focusing Tube and the Cut-Surface Quality

Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2010, Vol 32, Issue 2

Abstract

The wear of the focusing tube is a very important feature of the abrasive water jet machining. Of all rejected focusing tubes, 85% are worn. Similarly, the age of focusing tube influences the cut geometry and quality of machined surface. With regard to the stated, wearing of the focusing tube is subject of this paper. Focusing tube outlet diameter was measured as well as its influence on the surface quality.
