Surface roughness of Carbides produced by abrasive water jet machining

This study presents the effect of jet pressure, abrasive flow rate and work feed rate on smoothness of the surface produced by abrasive water jet machining of carbide of grade P25. Carbide of grade P25 is very hard and cannot he machined by conventional techniques. Cutting was perfonned on a water...
