Abstract
Water Jet Interaction within Material Cutting Processes. The article is dealing with the issue of aglomerated materials (chipboards and fiberboards) cutting by an abrasive water jet at the pressure of 400 MPa with abrasive agent (GMA Australian garnet, 80 MESH grain) and its impact on its cutting gap width. The experiment was carried out at feed speeds of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 m.min-1 and the abrasive agent mass flow of 250 g.min-1, 350 g.min-1 and 450 g.min-1. The results indicate the energy potential of the abrasive water jet. Based on the results, an optimum feed speed of 0.4 m.min-1 and the abrasive agent optimum mass flow rate of 450 g.min-1 can be determined for the aglomerated materials cutting.
