4 Conclusions
Drilling investigations have been carried out on AISI D2 steel using Abrasive Water
Jet Machining (AWJM) process by varying the stand-off distance and abrasive conditions. The experimental results revealed that SiC abrasive influences the surface
roughness and circularity features of the drilled holes. However, a least cylindricity
variation was found while the employment of 60 (Garnet):40 (Silicon Carbide)
abrasives mixture ratio. This result confirmed the circular profile was maintained
throughout the hole with a stand-off distance of 3 mm is employed. From the limited
results, it is found that 60:40 abrasive mixture ratio plays an important role in surface
finish as well as hole geometrical features, which is far better than garnet abrasive and
better than SiC abrasive in the hole geometrical features. While the use of abrasives
mixture, the selection of stand-off distance is a predominant role such that the AWJM
process can minimize/maximize the performance features based on its desirability.
