Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting is one of the most recently developed non- traditional manufacturing technologies. Among many of the non-conventional methods, Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) is a relatively new machining technique. Abrasive Water Jet Machining is extensively used in many industrial applications. 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-off distance, abrasive flow rate and types of abrasive. Important quality parameters in AWJM are Material Removal Rate (MRR), Surface Roughness (SR), kerf width, tapering of kerf. The objective of this thesis is to develop an Experimental Investigation of the process that can be used for a better understanding of the process. The factors affecting water jet and abrasive water jet performance are found from review & the effect of same is to be experimentally investigated.
