The document discusses abrasive jet machining, a type of non-traditional machining process. It involves removing material from a workpiece using a high-velocity stream of abrasive particles carried in a gas medium from a nozzle. The variables that influence the machining rate and accuracy include the carrier gas, abrasive type and size, jet velocity, abrasive particle density, work material, standoff distance, and nozzle design. Abrasive jet machining provides a high surface finish and is used to machine intricate shapes in hard, brittle materials. However, it has low material removal rates and tapered cuts.

S COLLEGE OF ENGINEERINGMANDYA-571401 (AN AUTONOMOUS INSTITUTION AFFILIATED TO VTU, BELGAUM) NON TRADITIONAL MACHINING
Non Traditional Machining process is defined as a group
of process that removes excess material by various techniques involving mechanical, thermal, electrical or chemical energy or combination of these energies but do not use a sharp cutting tools as it needs to be used for traditional manufacturing process. ABRASIVE JET MACHINING
Abrasive Jet Machine is a process in which excess
material is removed from the work piece due to impingement of fine grain abrasive by a high velocity gas stream. ABRASIVE JET MACHINE PRINCIPLE
Abrasive jet machine is the removal of
material from a work piece by the application of high stream of a abrasive particles carried in gas medium from the nozzle. LAYOUT OF ABRASIVE JET MACHINE

COMPONENTS OF ABRASIVE JET MACHINE Fig: Abrasive Jet Machine Variables in AJM The variables that influences the rate of metal removal and accuracy of machining in this process are: 1. Carrier gas 2. Type of abrasive 3. Size of abrasive grain 4. Velocity of the abrasive jet 5. Mean number of abrasive particles per unit volume of the carrier gas 6. Work material 7. Stand off 8. Nozzle design 9.

Surface finish obtained is high.
Capital cost is low. It cut a hole of intricate shapes in hard and brittle materials. Depth of surface damage is low DISADVANTAGES
Low material removal rate.
The process produces a tapered cut. Nozzle life is limited. Nozzle wear is high. APPLICATIONS
Used for cleaning the spark plug and casting.
Used for removal of glue and paints. Used to machine thin sections and intricate shapes in hard and brittle materials. Used to producing high qualities surfaces. Removing flash and parting line from injection moulded parts Cutting thin sectioned fragile components made of glass, refractories, ceramics, mica etc. REFERENCE
