Characteristics of abrasive slurry jet micro-machining: A comparison with abrasive air jet micro-machining
TL;DR: Abrasive slurry jet micro-machining (ASJM) uses a well-defined jet of abrasive slurry to erode features in a solid target as mentioned in this paper, which is the dominant material removal mechanism in both ASJM and AJM in spite of the significant flow-induced decrease in the local impact angles of many of the particles in ASJM.

Motion control for quality in jet cutting
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for controlling motion in machine tools and industrial robots is presented, from the specification of a part to be cut or a path to be followed by a machine tool or a robot, a position command, a time delay between successive position commands, and a force command based on a prediction of predicted resistive forces.

Piercing in delicate materials with abrasive-waterjets
H.-T. (Peter) Liu,E. Schubert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase change of the working fluid of liquefied nitrogen (LN2) in an abrasive cryogenic jet (ACJ) is used to mitigate the damage caused by the initial penetration.
Low-cost manufacturing of flow channels with multi-nozzle abrasive-waterjets: a feasibility investigation
TL;DR: Abrasive water jets were applied for machining various flow-channel patterns such as high-espect-ratio slots/ribs on several metals and non-metals as mentioned in this paper.

Applications of Abrasive-Waterjets for Machining Fatigue-Critical Aerospace Aluminum Parts
TL;DR: In this paper, the average fatigue life of AWJ-cut aluminum net cut parts is shown to be about 30% shorter than those of conventional machined counterparts and dry-grit blasting with aluminum oxide abrasives until the striation is removed visually yields excellent result.
