In this paper, a model of material removal in abrasive water jet machining of brittle material is developed, and experimentally evaluated. Abrasive water jet machining proved to yield better material removal rate than other machining techniques for hard and brittle material (alumina ceramics). It was also found that large scale fracture may develop at the exit of the jet from the material. The fracture size was predicted as a function of water jet pressure and size of the hole. Finally, the feasibility of using acoustic emission signals for in-process monitoring of the abrasive water jet machining process is investigated.

Abrasive water-jet(AWJ) machining is a new cutting technology. The AWJ can cut various materials such as metal, glass and stone. However, the AWJ machining makes troubles including kerf, rounding and side taper. In this study, we investigated the correlation between parameters of abrasive water-jet machining and cutting characteristics. The machining parameters were the material thickness and the traverse speed. The experiment was conducted to cut the stainless steel(STS41) and the mild steel(SS41) specimens. The results of the experiment were presented as the relation between cutting conditions and troubles of a dimension error, a conner error, an uncut width and a kerf.

Abrasive jet machining(AJM) process is similar to the sand blasting and effectively removes hard and brittle materials. AJM has applied to rough working such as debarring and rough finishing. As the need for machining of ceramics, semiconductor, electronic devices and LCD are increasing, micro AJM is developed, and has become the inevitable technique to micromachining. This paper describes the performance of the micro AJM in micro grooving of glass. Diameter of hole and width of line in grooving is 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Experimental results showed good performance in micro grooving of glass, but the size of machined groove increased about 2~4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. With the fine tuning of masking process and compensation of film wear. this micro AJM could be effectively applied to the micro machining of semiconductor, electronic devices and LCD.

The application of abrasive-assisted high energy water-jet was investigated as a possible new method of cutting wood. In this study the maximum cutting speeds for species of various wood density were determined and water-jet machining characteristics were investigated for sixteen Korean domestic species. The maximum cutting speed ranged from 200 to 750 mm/min. The results indicate that wood density affects machining characteristics such as maximum cutting speed, surface roughness, and kerf width. Roughness of surface generated increased and kerf width decreased as penetration depth increased.

Micro-abrasive jet machining(${\mu}AJM$) using mask is a fine machining technology which can carve a figure on a material. The mask should have holes exactly same as the required figure. Abrasive particles are jetted into the holes of the mask and it collide with the material. The collision break off small portion of the material. And the ${\mu}AJM$ nozzle should move all over the machining area. However, in general the carving shape is modeled as in a bitmap figure, because it often contains characters. And the mask model is also often modeled from the bitmap image. Therefore, the machining path of the ${\mu}AJM$ also efficient if it can be generated from the bitmap image. This paper suggest an algorithm which can generate ${\mu}AJM$ tool path directly from the bitmap image of the carving figure. And shows some test results and applications.

Abrasive jet machining (AJM) has a large number of parameters such as powder flow rate, air pressure, diameter of abrasive, stand off distance, material hardness and fracture toughness, etc. It is not easy matter to control those parameter. To achieve high accurate machining, in this study, Taguchi method was used to select process parameters. The objective of the optimization was to get higher material removal rate (MRR). From the experiments and analysis, some process parameters were found to make efficient machining.

Micro-abrasive Jet Machining is one of the new technology which enables micro-scale machining on the surface of high brittle materials. In this technology it is very important to fabricate a mask that prevents excessive abrasives not to machine un-intend surface. Our previous work introduced the micro-stereolithography technology for the mask fabrication. And is good to not only planar material but also for non-planar materials. But the technology requires a 3 dimensional mask CAD model which is perfectly matched with the surface topology of parent material as an input. Therefore there is strong need to develop an automated modeling technology which produce adequate 3D mask CAD model in fast and simple way. This paper introduces a fast and simple mask modeling algorithm which represents geometry of models in voxel. Input of the modeling system is 2D pattern image, 3D CAD model of parent material and machining parameters for Micro-abrasive Jet Machining. And the output is CAD model of 3D mask which reflects machining parameters and geometry of the parent material. Finally the suggested algorithm is implemented as software and verified by some test cases.
