Item Effect of process parameter on the kerf geometry in abrasive water jet milling(2010-11) Alberdi, A.; Rivero, A.; López De Lacalle, L. N.; Etxeberria, I.; Suárez, A.; FABRIC_INTEL; SGThis research work introduces a model to predict the kerf profile in abrasive water jet slot milling in aluminium 7075-T651. The experimentation allowed modelling the maximum cutting depth and the width at the half of maximum depth in terms of four process parameters: pressure, abrasive mass flow rate, stand-off distance, and traverse feed rate. It is shown that the introduction of the maximum depth and the width at the half of maximum depth in a Gaussian function is suitable to describe the kerf profile. The definition of an equivalent traverse feed rate at every instant along the jet trajectory introduces the effect of the jet acceleration in the model. Thus, the model is capable of predicting the kerf profile at constant traverse feed rate and at variable traverse feed rate due to direction changing trajectories. The variations of cutting depth along a slot are also studied in order to avoid the cutting parameters combinations which lead to low repetitiveness conditions and then irregular milling surfaces.Item Kerf modelling in abrasive waterjet milling using evolutionary computation and ANOVA techniques(2012) Alberdi, A.; Rivero, A.; Carrascal, A.; Lamikiz, A.; FABRIC_INTEL; SGMany researchers demonstrated the capability of Abrasive Waterjet (AWJ) technology for precision milling operations. However, the concurrence of several input parameters along with the stochastic nature of this technology leads to a complex process control, which requires a work focused in process modelling. This research work introduces a model to predict the kerf shape in AWJ slot milling in Aluminium 7075-T651 in terms of four important process parameters: the pressure, the abrasive flow rate, the stand-off distance and the traverse feed rate. A hybrid evolutionary approach was employed for kerf shape modelling. This technique allowed characterizing the profile through two parameters: the maximum cutting depth and the full width at half maximum. On the other hand, based on ANOVA and regression techniques, these two parameters were also modelled as a function of process parameters. Combination of both models resulted in an adequate strategy to predict the kerf shape for different machining conditions.Item Kerf profile modelling in Abrasive Waterjet milling(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2012) Alberdi, A.; Rivero, A.; Carrascal, A.; Lamikiz, A.; FABRIC_INTEL; SGThe Abrasive Water Jet milling process is demonstrated to be an efficient technology for milling low machinability materials. Although its capability is demonstrated, the industrial application of this technology requires a depth control, for which a work focused in process modelling is needed. This research work introduces a model to predict the kerf shape in AWJ slot milling in Aluminium 7075-T651 in terms of four important process parameters: pressure, abrasive mass flow rate, stand-off distance and traverse feed rate. A hybrid evolutionary approach was employed for modelling the profile through two parameters: the maximum cutting depth and the full width at half maximum. Both the maximum depth and the width were also modelled as a function of aforementioned process parameters based on Analysis of Variance and regression techniques. Combination of two models resulted in an adequate strategy to predict the kerf shape for different machining conditions.
