Materials Science
Mechanical Engineering
Fluid Dynamics

Background:

Abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting is a crucial industrial process.
Understanding the physics of AWJ is essential for optimizing cutting performance.
Internal stress and physical characteristics of materials are affected by AWJ.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate kinetic energy attenuation and turbulent features of a high-pressure AWJ.
To analyze the morphological characteristics and surface roughness of Al-Mg alloy samples after AWJ cutting.
To develop a descriptive model for abrasive particle behavior during AWJ cutting.

Main Methods:

Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA) was used to measure mean and root-mean-square (RMS) velocities at 260 MPa.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and optical profiling were employed for surface analysis.
Correlation analysis was performed to establish a descriptive model.

Main Results:

The high-pressure water jet exhibited high mean velocities and significant velocity fluctuations.
Irregular pits and grooves on cut surfaces indicated energy attenuation and radial velocity components.
Surface roughness varied with the distance of the sample from the nozzle.

Conclusions:

AWJ cutting induces significant changes in material properties due to jet dynamics.
Jet velocity fluctuations and energy attenuation directly influence cut surface morphology.
A predictive model for AWJ cutting can be developed based on experimental findings.
