Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) is one of the recent non-traditional methods that have been used in industry for machining of different materials in a variety of applications. Material removal in this process is due to the erosion of a small volume with each abrasive particle striking the surface at high velocity. It is highly suitable for ceramics and composite materials. Composite materials are being increasingly used in various applications like space, aircraft, marine, architectural and automobile sector because of their superior physical and mechanical properties even though they are a little bit costly. There are so many process parameter affect quality of machined surface cut by AWJM. Important process parameters which mainly affect the quality of cutting are traverse speed, hydraulic pressure, stand of distance, abrasive flow rate and types of abrasive. Abrasive water jet machining provides some advantages over other machining process for cutting the composite materials like no thermal effect, high machining versatility and small cutting forces. In this paper some of the significant parameters are selected and then are studied by using Taguchi’s signal to noise ratio method to find out the optimum working values of those parameters out of the selected values at different levels. For the optimum values of different responses both these graphs and values are compared.
