TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of key kinematic operating parameters (i.e. α -jet impingement angle and v -jet feed rate) on the kerf geometry and its dimensional characteristics was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary study of the capability of AWJ cutting of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) using abrasive media with different hardness, i.e., aluminium oxide (Al2O3), silicon carbide (SiC), and diamond, is presented.

TL;DR: A neuro-genetic approach is proposed to suggest the process parameters for maintaining the desired depth of cut in abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting by considering the change in diameter of focusing nozzle, i.e. for adaptive control of AWJ cutting process.

TL;DR: In this article, a geometrical model of the jet footprint (kerf) in maskless controlled-depth milling applications is presented, where the model firstly needs to find the material specific erosion (etching) rate that is obtained from the jet footprints by taking the limiting conditions (high jet feed rates) of the model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of process parameters on the integrity and geometrical accuracy while taking into consideration the secondary temperature and mechanical induced transformations in the workpiece material, and proved that AWJ machining, if optimally conducted, can generate surfaces that can fulfill the quality requirements (e.g. cut surface: roughness).
