...A. Alberdi; A. Rivero; L. N. López de Lacalle In abrasive waterjet (AWJ) milling, a flat surface is obtained when the jet carries out a programmed path, which covers the desired surface. In this process, single slots are overlapped. Thus, the resulting surface, apart from depending on process...

...C. Leigh Herran; Wei Wang; Yong Huang; Vladimir Mironov; Roger Markwald Microspheres or droplets are increasingly finding various biomedical applications as drug microspheres and multicellular spheroids. Single nozzle-based continuous jetting with the help of acoustic excitation and/or carrier...

... in particular that has experienced an increase in use in the biomedical and aerospace industries is titanium—due largely to its high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. In this paper, surface preparation of a titanium alloy using waterjet and the water-air jet nozzles at pressures up to 600 MPa...

... density, and wheel velocity. An empirical coefficient of value less than 1 is introduced. The coefficient depends on wheel geometry, jet velocity, abrasive property, and fluid property. Air flow interfering with the delivery grinding fluid is also analyzed. A relationship was found between atmospheric...

...S. Wan, Research Fellow; G. C. Lim, Principle Research Fellow This paper presents an analysis of the transient flow, on pump shut-down, in abrasive suspension jet cutting machines as part of an effort to develop a fine-beam cutting system. The analysis was motivated by a need to clearly understand...

...Kai Chen; Y. Lawrence Yao; Vijay Modi Laser machining efficiency and quality are closely related to gas pressure, nozzle geometry, and standoff distance. Modeling studies of laser machining rarely incorporate gas effects in part because of the complex structure and turbulent nature of jet flow...

...H. Soyama, Mem. ASME, Associate Professor; J. D. Park, Professor; M. Saka, Professor In an attempt to strengthen the surface of materials, the potential of using a cavitating jet to form compressive residual stress has been investigated. Introducing compressive residual stress to a material surface...

...Shane Y. Hong, Professor, Mem. ASME To eliminate health and environmental problems caused by using conventional cutting fluid in the machining industry, a new economical and practical approach to cryogenic machining technology was developed. Using micro nozzle jetting to the cutting point locally...
