Variation of depth of cut on al7075-t6 and fly ash metal matrix composite in abrasive waterjet cutting

Anand Raju, F. and Dr. Deva Kumar, M.L.S.

Abstract: 

Aluminium metal matrix composite is advances in manufacturing of new composite production. Present work carries an investigation of variation of depth of cut on Al7075-T6 and Fly ash metal matrix composites (AMMCs) in Abrasive water jet cutting (AWJC). The aluminum metal matrix was casted in stir casting process with variation of fly ash percentage (15%, 20% and 25%). The four samples namely pure aluminum sample and the three AMMCs are cut with AWJC by variation of different parameters to attain the optimization of the cutting condition in each sample. The cutting parameters are set based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using Historical data method. The results were analyzed using response graphs. From the analysis, it depicts that, high waterjet pressure; low standoff distance (SOD), low traverse speed (TS) and low abrasive flow rate (AFR) are resulted in higher depth of cut (DOC) in the unreinforced Al 7075-T6 as well as MMCs.
