    Introduction :
    A Non-conventional machining process In which a high-
    velocity water jet is used to remove materials from the
    surface of the workpiece. Water jet machining(WJM) is a
    mechanical energy based non-traditional machining
    process used to cut and machine soft and non-metallic
    materials. It uses the high-velocity water jet to cut a non-
    metallic workpiece smoothly.

    Principle :
    • It works on the principle of water erosion.
    • When a high-velocity water jet strikes the surface, the removal
    of metal takes place.

    Parts And Construction :


    Various part is used to construct the Water jet machine-
    • Storage tank
    • Pump
    • Intensifier
    • Tubing
    • Accumulator
    • Control valve
    • Nozzle
    • Regulator
    • Drain System

    Working Of Water Jet Machining :


    •Initially, water from the reservoir is pumped to the
    intensifier using a hydraulic pump.
    •Instifier increases the pressure of water up to 200-400mPa.
    •An excess supply of water sends to the accumulator for
    temporary storage.
    •Then the required quantity of pressurized water enters the
    nozzle through a control valve and flow regulator

    •In case you missed it, the Control valve controls the
    direction of the water. flow regulator controls and regulate
    the flow of water and the nozzle converts the pressure
    energy of water into kinetic energy of water having very
    high velocity, approx 900m/s.
    •When a water jet strikes with very high velocity, it induces
    a trace on the workpiece.
    •These induced traces further intensify, causing the removal
    of material for the workpiece.

    below-
    • Standoff distance
    • Fluid pressure
    • Feed rate
    • Jet fluid

    Advantages Of WJM :
    • Excellent precision
    • Water is cheap, non-toxic, readily available and can be
    easily disposed of.
    • Water jet approaches the ideal single point tool.
    • The process gives a clean and sharp cut.
    • Unlike the conventional machining process, this method
    does not generate heat.

    Advantages Of WJM :

    • Best suited for the explosive environment.


    • Noise is minimized as the power units and pumps can be
    kept away from the cutting point.
    • No moving parts, therefore, less maintenance is required.

    Disadvantages Of WJM :
    • Only soft materials can be machined.
    • Very high thick materials can not be machined easily.
    • The initial cost is high
    • Not suitable for mass production.

    Applications Of WJM :
    •Useful for cutting materials that are porous, fibrous,
    granular, or soft. It includes the materials like
    corrugated board, rubber, granite, plywood, glass,
    aluminum.
    •To cut wood, ceramics, composites, leather, foam, wire
    stripping and deburring.
    •In aerospace and other similar industries, a water jet is
    cut off asbestos to minimize airborne dust in the
    atmosphere.
    •Used to cut fiberglass and polyethene automotive parts.

    Conclusions :
    A previous discussion shows major research in water jet
    machining. Investigators have contributed in different
    directions but still a lot of works are required to be done.
    The work presented above is an overview of the recent
    trends in development of WJM. WJM is the most efficient
    process for difficult to cut materials, as compared with
    other conventional and non conventional machining
    process.
