Full textAbstract:
Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting is a versatile technique which has been effectively applied to rock cutting since the late 1980s. The complexity of the interaction between the waterjet and the rocks complicates the thorough understanding of the phenomena involved in AWJ rock cutting. On one hand, rocks are complex materials which are generated through different processes in an uncontrolled environment without human interference. On the other hand, the AWJ acts with high velocity and turbulence, complicating direct observation and the perception of details. In this respect, the present research aims to contribute to the study of AWJ cutting applied to rocks, including the analysis of qualitative and quantitative information, both of great importance regarding the study of complex materials. Concerning quantitative data, special attention is given to the investigation of the cutting efficiency, which can be analyzed by observing conditions in which the higher cutting rate is associated with the minimum energy provided by the AWJ machine per removed volume of rock. Moreover, the real efficiency can be analyzed through the investigation of the conditions in which the major part of the energy provided by the AWJ machine is used effectively for rock cutting, deducting dissipation losses. The effects of varying traverse velocity and pump pressure on cutting parameters were also investigated, in addition to the influence of rock properties on the effective energy of cutting. The effective energy was calculated based both on the specific energy and specific destruction work of the materials. With respect to the qualitative investigation, petrographic and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were conducted in order to visualize and better understand the different effects of cutting on the studied rocks. Cutting tests with a traverse velocity of 200 mm/min and a pump pressure of 400 MPa presented the most efficient rock cutting regarding both methods of efficiency analysis. Dry density and tensile strength presented fair correlations with the effective cutting energy, while the modulus ratio presented the best correlations. It was observed that brittleness plays a key role in the understanding of the phenomena involved in AWJ rock cutting.O jato d\'água abrasivo (AWJ) é uma técnica versátil que tem sido efetivamente aplicada ao corte de rochas desde o fim da década de 1980. A complexidade da interação entre o jato e as rochas dificulta a compreensão detalhada dos fenômenos envolvidos no corte de rochas com AWJ. Por um lado, rochas são materiais complexos gerados em ambientes sem interferência humana. Por outro lado, o AWJ age com alta velocidade e turbulência, dificultando a observação direta do procedimento. Assim, a presente tese de doutorado visa a contribuir com o estudo do corte de rochas com AWJ, incluindo análises de dados qualitativos e quantitativos, ambos de grande importância em estudos de materiais complexos. A análise quantitativa possui foco na investigação da eficiência de corte, a qual pode ser analisada por meio da observação das condições em que há a maior taxa de corte associada à mínima energia fornecida pelo AWJ por volume de rocha removido. Além disso, a eficiência real do corte pode ser analisada a partir da investigação das condições em que a maior parte da energia fornecida pelo AWJ é usada para efetivamente cortar a rocha, descontando perdas por dissipação. Os efeitos da variação da velocidade transversal de corte e da pressão da bomba nos parâmetros de corte também foram investigados, além da influência das propriedades das rochas na energia efetiva de corte. A energia efetiva de corte, denominada energia relativa de formação da ranhura (EKR), foi calculada com base na energia específica e no trabalho de destruição específico dos materiais. Análises de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (SEM) e petrografia foram conduzidas para visualizar e compreender melhor os diferentes efeitos do corte nas rochas estudadas. Os testes de corte realizados com velocidade transversal do bocal de 200 mm/min e pressão da bomba de 400 MPa apresentaram as melhores eficiências de corte considerando-se ambos os métodos de análise de eficiência. Dentre as propriedades das rochas investigadas, a massa específica e a resistência à tração por compressão diametral apresentaram correlações razoáveis com EKR, enquanto que o modulus ratio apresentou as melhores correlações. Observou-se que a ruptibilidade possui papel fundamental na compreensão dos fenômenos envolvidos no corte de rochas com AWJ.

Full textAbstract:
It is well known that high-speed liquid jetting is one of the most powerful techniques available to cut or penetrate material. Recently, it has been conjectured that high-speed liquid jets may be beneficial in improving combustion in such applications as SCRAM jets and direct injection diesel engines. Although there are practical limitations on maximum jet velocity, a fundamental study of the characteristics of high-speed liquid fuel jets and their auto-ignition feasibility is necessary. Important benefits could be increased combustion efficiency and enhanced emission control from improved atomisation. The generation of high-speed liquid jets (water and diesel fuel) in the supersonic to hypersonic ranges by use of a vertical single stage powder gun is described. The effect of the projectile velocity and projectile mass on the jet velocity is found experimentally. Jet exit velocities from a range of different nozzle inner profiles and nozzle hardness are thoroughly examined. The characteristics and behaviour of the high-speed liquid jet and its leading bow shock wave have been studied with the aid of a shadowgraph technique. This provides a clearer picture of each stage of the generation of hypersonic liquid jets. It makes possible the study of hypersonic diesel fuel jet characteristics and their potential for auto-ignition. The fundamental processes by which a supersonic liquid jet is generated by projectile impact have been investigated. The momentum transfer from the projectile to the liquid and the shock wave reflection within the nozzle cavity are the key items of interest. A new one-dimensional analysis has been used in order to simplify this complex and difficult problem. The impact pressure obtained from the projectile was firstly derived. Then, an investigation of the intermittent pressure increase in a closed end cavity and a simple stepped, cross-sectional nozzle were carried out. The nozzle pressure and final jet velocity were estimated and compared to a previous method and to experimental results. Some interesting characteristics found in the experiments relate well to those anticipated by the analysis. The characteristics of a hypersonic diesel fuel jet and its leading edge shock wave were assessed for their potential for auto-ignition using fuel with cetane numbers from 50-100. The investigations were performed at normal ambient air and at elevated air (110 ???C) temperature. So far, there is no sign of auto-ignition that may occur because of the temperature rise of the induced shock.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2004.Includes bibliographical references (p. 67).
This thesis guides the reader through the design of an inexpensive XY stage for abrasive water jet cutting machine starting with a set of functional requirements and ending with a product. Abrasive water jet cutting allows for mass customization of 2D parts, such as inlaid tiles. Most water jet cutters are based on a prismatic-prismatic design (gantry type). In an effort to reduce the number of precision parts in the machine, a rotary-rotary parallel drive design is proposed. The proposed mechanism will be actuated by electric DC windshield wiper motors directly coupled to the links, this eliminates the need for gearing mechanisms that add up to the total cost and complexity of the design. Kinematics of the design is simulated for a working area of 310mm x 310mm. Dynamic analysis is performed and the concepts of decoupled and configuration invariant inertia are derived, simplified to a set of conditions on the kinematic structure/mass properties of the arm linkages and applied to significantly simplify the mechanism's control system. The XY stage was designed to be inexpensive and small enough to be placed in hardware stores, garages and small machine shops. A vision of water jet cutters sold in boxes stacked on shelves in Wal-Mart, available for all machinists, artists, schools, and industries might one day thus become a reality if the pumps could also be made cheaply.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the ice particle production process through experimentation and numerical methods using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) that can be used to produce ice particles with controlled temperature and hardness for use in ice jet (IJ) process for industrial applications. The analytical and numerical modeling for the heat exchanger system are developed that could predict the heat, mass and momentum exchange between the cold gas and water droplets. Further, the feasibility study of the deployment of ice particles produced from the ice jet system for possible cleaning and blasting applications are analyzed numerically. Although the use of Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ) technology in cutting, cleaning, machining and surface processing is a very successful industrial process, a considerable amount of secondary particle waste and contamination impingement by abrasive materials has been an important issue in AWJ process. Some alternate cryogenic jet methods involving vanishing abrasive materials, such as plain liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide have been tried for these applications, but they also suffer from certain drawbacks relating to the quality, safety, process control and materials handling. The use of ice jet process involving minute ice particles has received relatively little attention in industrial applications. Some researches have concentrated on the studies of effects of Ice Jet outlet parameters of the nozzle and focus tube for machining soft and brittle materials. Most of the work in this area is qualitative and researchers have paid a cursory attention to the ice particles temperature and the efficiency of production of these particles. An extensive investigation to gain insight knowledge into the formulation of ice formation process parameters is required in arriving at a deeper understanding of the entire ice jet process for production application. Experimental investigations were focussed on the measurement of ice particle temperature, phase transitions, ice particle diameter, coalescence and hardness test. The change in ice particle diameter from the inlet conditions to the exit point of the heat exchanger wasinvestigated using the experimental results. These observations were extended to numerical analysis of temperature variations of ice particles at different planes inside the custom built heat exchanger. The numerical predictions were carried out with the aid of visualization studies and temperature measurement results from experiments. The numerical models were further analysed to find out the behaviour of ice particles in the transportation stage, the mixing chamber of the nozzle and focus tube. This was done to find out whether the methodology used in this research is feasible and if it can be used in applications such as cleaning, blasting, drilling and perhaps cutting. The results of the empirical studies show that ice particles of desired temperature and hardness could be produced successfully with the current novel design of the heat exchanger. At the optimum parameters, ice particles could be produced below -60�C, with hardness of particles comparable to gypsum (Moh�s hardness of 1.5 to 3). The visualization studies of the process assisted in observation of the phases of ice at various points along the heat exchanger. The results of numerical analysis were found to agree well with the experiments and were supported by the statistical model assessments. Numerical analyses also show the survival of ice particles at the nozzle exit even with high-pressure, high-velocity water/air mixture.

Full textAbstract:
The work presented in the thesis introduces the use of the principles of fracture mechanics on the mechanism of rock breakage by disc cutters with and without water jet assistance. The work may be divided into five major parts: 1. Rock fracture tests; The values of fracture toughness are measured from three different directions of the rock blocks by three different testing methods: radially cracked ring specimens, three point bend specimens and short bar specimens. The effect of moisture on the fracture toughness was also investigated. 2. Indentation tests; A primary study of the use of a disc cutter as a type of indenter has been carried out. These tests provided a parameter, contact pressure, for predicting the disc cutting forces and understanding the fragmentation of the rock during cutting. 3. Water jet assisted disc cutting tests; The factors influenced the performance of water jet assisted disc cutting were investigated, including: a) The pressure of the water jet; b) The position of the water jet nozzle; c) The cutting speed; and d) The spacing distance and penetration depths. 4. Theoretical analysis of disc forces; Based on a widely accepted assumption, a simple mathematical model was developed for the relationships between the cutting forces. The indentation fracture theories were used to predict the performance of disc cutting. A further use of the predictor equations in the water jet assisted cutting was also investigated. 5. The analysis of stress distribution beneath the disc cutter; Boundary element method was used in the investigation of the stress distribution beneath the disc cutter. The effects of geometries of the disc cutters, spacing distance, penetration depth were also considered.

Full textAbstract:
Water jet assistance has shown many promising benefits to drag tool rock cutting. However, the basic failure mechanism of hybrid cutting is not well understood. In addition, most previous laboratory investigations have been carried out with cutting speeds of less than 0.25 m/s, whilst typical tool speeds for a production boom-type tunnelling machine cutting hard rock is over 1.0 m/s. Potentially erroneous conclusions may be obtained unless laboratory cutting speeds are comparable with those used in the practical situation. Based on the research work carried out under a three-year contract sponsored jointly by the Science and Engineering Research Council and the European Coal and Steel Community, this thesis examines the cutting mechanisms when a water jet and a drag tool are acting together. Over one thousand cuts have been carried out in five rock types which cover a wide range of strength and abrasivity. A linear cutting rig was modified to enable cutting speeds up to 1.10 m/s to be obtained. Jet pressures up to 70 MPa were provided by a 75-kW water pump. Based on the cutting mechanisms of the drag tool and the effect of the water jet action, a hybrid cutting model is proposed. To obtain significant tool force reductions, the jet power must be greater than either the threshold jet power for slotting, or a critical jet power for hydraulic fracturing. Depending on the jet power, rocks can be separated into two groups, one with significant jet penetration and the other without. For rocks with significant jet penetration, the force reductions with water jet assistance can be estimated from the jet penetration characteristic. An optimum jet penetration was found to exist which provided the maximum force reductions. For rocks without jet penetration, the force reduction is marginal except when the jet power exceeds the critical jet power for hydraulic fracturing. An expression is given which characterises the functional relationship between force reduction and jet penetration. When the jet penetration for the rock is insignificant, an equation is proposed to estimate the critical jet power required.

Full textAbstract:
A series of experiments were conducted to invesdgate high pressure water jet assisted coal cutting. The research was sponsored by British Coal and carried out in the Department of Mining Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Two coals were tested: a black, coherent, anthracite; and a heavily cleated, friable, dull coloured bituminous coal. The tests modelled as closely as possible a vane pick on a two start shearer drum. The experiment was performed on a modified 50 tonne linear cutting rig at a speed of I. Im/s, using jet pressures of 35MPa, 70MPa, and 105MPa at different flow rates. A 75kW double acting intensifier type pump supplied the high pressure water for the jet. A relieved cutting mode was adopted with a line spacing of 70mm, and a 30mm nominal depth of cut. An actual production cutting tool (heavy duty 75mm radial with a HW tip) cut the coal in both the sharp and blunt states. Additional tests were also performed by pre-slotting the coal with a water jet before cutting it and by examining the effect of varying the lead and offset distances on the parameters measured below. Parameters measured were the cutting forces in three orthogonal directions; the breakout patterns; and the coal size distribution. The coal yields and specific energies were calculated from the experimental data. Both coals achieved benefit from jet assistance but at different pressures depending upon the coal type and tool wear. The breakout pattern differed between the two coals but generally fracture occurred along the major cleat planes. Both coals were easier to cut when the major cleat was orientated in the horizontal plane rather than in the vertical plane. Specific energy increased linearly with jet power. In most cases the quantity of fine coal (-0.5mm) produced decreased with jet assistance.

Full textAbstract:
This research work presents an optimisation of abrasive waterjet contour cutting process parameters with the objectives of maximising material removal rate, whilst minimising taper angle and surface roughness. This thesis contains an in-depth review of the systems behind abrasive waterjet machining and recent progress trends regarding its applications. The impacts of input parameters are investigated including traverse speed, waterjet pressure and abrasive mass flow rate against selected responses in abrasive waterjet contour cutting of austenitic stainless steel 304L. Experimental data is utilised to generate regression models in predicting responses, where the results are statistically evaluated to assess the percentage contribution of each parameter in the performance of contour cutting. Techniques, such as Taguchi and Response Surface Methodology, are employed to perform a single and multi-objective optimisation. Abrasive waterjets demonstrate similar responses in cutting curvature and straight line profiles during contour cutting. The study reveals that an increasing level of waterjet pressure and abrasive mass flow rate results in lower surface roughness, lower kerf taper angle and higher rate of material removal. Similarly, a lower rate of traverse speed achieves minimum surface roughness and kerf taper angle, whereas increasing its rate attains the maximum value of material removal rate.

Full textAbstract:
Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting is one of the most recently developed nontraditional manufacturing technologies. It has been increasingly used in industry owing to its various distinct advantages over the other cutting technologies. However, many aspects of this technology require to be fully understood in order to increase its capability and cutting performance as well as to optimize the cutting process.
This thesis contains an extensive literature review on the investigations of the various aspects in AWJ machining. It shows that while considerable work has been carried out, very little reported research has been found on the AWJ contouring process although it is a common AWJ cutting application. Because of the very nature of the AWJ cutting process, the changing nozzle traverse direction involved in AWJ contouring results in kerf geometrical or shape errors. A thorough understanding of the AWJ contouring process is essential for the reduction or elimination of these shape errors. It also shows that a lack of understanding of the AWJ hydrodynamic characteristics has limited the development of cutting performance models that are required for process control and optimization.
Accordingly, a detailed experimental investigation is presented in this thesis to study the various cutting performance measures in AWJ contouring of an 87% alumina ceramic over a wide range of process parameters. For a comparison purpose, the study also considers AWJ straight-slit cutting. The effects of process parameters on the major cutting performance measures in AWJ contouring have been comprehensively discussed and plausible trends are amply analysed. It finds that the taper angles on the two kerf walls are in different magnitudes in AWJ contouring. The kerf taper on the outer kerf wall increases with the arc radius (or profile curvature), while that on the inner kerf wall decreases. Moreover, the depth of cut increases with an increase in arc radius and approaches the maximum in straight cutting for a given combination of parameters. The other process variables affect the AWJ contouring process in a way similar to that in straight cutting. The analysis has provided a guideline for the selection of process parameters in the AWJ contouring of alumina ceramics.
In order to predict the cutting performance in process planning and ultimately optimize the cutting process, mathematical models for the major cutting performance measures in both straight-slit cutting and contouring are developed using a dimensional analysis technique. The models are then verified by assessing both qualitatively and quantitatively the model predictions with respect to the corresponding experimental data. It shows that the models can adequately predict the cutting performance measures and form the essential basis for developing strategies for selecting the optimum process parameters in AWJ cutting.
To achieve an in-depth understanding of the jet dynamic characteristics such as the velocity and pressure distributions inside a jet, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation is carried out using a Fluent6 flow solver and the simulation results are validated by an experimental investigation. The water and particle velocities in the jet are obtained under different input and boundary conditions to provide an insight into the jet characteristics and a good understanding of the kerf formation process in AWJ cutting. Various plausible trends and characteristics of the water and particle velocities are analysed and discussed, which provides the essential knowledge for optimizing the jet performance through optimizing the jetting and abrasive parameters.
Mathematical models for the water and particle velocity distributions in an AWJ are finally developed and verified by comparing the predicted jet characteristics with the corresponding CFD simulation data. It shows that the jet characteristics models can yield good predictions for both water and particle velocity distributions in an AWJ. The successful development of these jet dynamic characteristics models is an essential step towards developing more comprehensive mathematical cutting performance models for AWJ cutting and eventually developing the optimization strategies for the effective and efficient use of this advanced manufacturing technology.

The analysis has provided a guideline for the selection of process parameters in the AWJ contouring of alumina ceramics. In order to predict the cutting performance in process planning and ultimately optimize the cutting process, mathematical models for the major cutting performance measures in both straight-slit cutting and contouring are developed using a dimensional analysis technique. The models are then verified by assessing both qualitatively and quantitatively the model predictions with respect to the corresponding experimental data. It shows that the models can adequately predict the cutting performance measures and form the essential basis for developing strategies for selecting the optimum process parameters in AWJ cutting. To achieve an in-depth understanding of the jet dynamic characteristics such as the velocity and pressure distributions inside a jet, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation is carried out using a Fluent6 flow solver and the simulation results are validated by an experimental investigation. The water and particle velocities in the jet are obtained under different input and boundary conditions to provide an insight into the jet characteristics and a good understanding of the kerf formation process in AWJ cutting. Various plausible trends and characteristics of the water and particle velocities are analysed and discussed, which provides the essential knowledge for optimizing the jet performance through optimizing the jetting and abrasive parameters. Mathematical models for the water and particle velocity distributions in an AWJ are finally developed and verified by comparing the predicted jet characteristics with the corresponding CFD simulation data. It shows that the jet characteristics models can yield good predictions for both water and particle velocity distributions in an AWJ. The successful development of these jet dynamic characteristics models is an essential step towards developing more comprehensive mathematical cutting performance models for AWJ cutting and eventually developing the optimization strategies for the effective and efficient use of this advanced manufacturing technology.

O Design, sendo uma atividade responsável pela criação de bens materiais, vem incorporando características culturais e saberes locais no desenvolvimento de produtos. O interesse por produtos culturais acarreta em desenvolvimento para as regiões produtoras, refletindo em diversos âmbitos da vida em sociedade, impulsionando e aumentando a competitividade do mercado local. Para isso, as tecnologias são fundamentais na promoção de inovações em produtos, facilitando o processo de produção e permitindo novas aplicações. Desta forma, a união destes dois fatores, tecnologias e valorização de produtos culturais, podem acarretar em ganhos, tanto para a região produtora, como para o país, no oferecimento de produtos com maior valor agregado. O serpentinito, considerado uma gema ornamental rara do Rio Grande do Sul, não possui atualmente uso comercial. O principal mineral constituinte dessa rocha são minerais do grupo das serpentinas, que podem ocorrer como agregados maciços e lamelares (antigorita e lizardita) e como cristais fibrosos (crisotilo). Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar as técnicas de beneficiamento em serpentinito, a fim de valorizar sua utilização como material gemológico para aplicação em joalheria. Para a caracterização mineralógica do serpentinito, utilizou-se lupa binocular, difratometria de raios X e microscópio petrográfico. As técnicas testadas para seu beneficiamento foram: corte por jato d’água, gravação a laser, polimento e resinagem. Para análise das interações das técnicas empregadas com o material, utilizou-se a lupa estereoscópica, microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV) e medidor de brilho (Gloss meter). Obteve-se resultados satisfatórios quanto a aplicação das técnicas no serpentinito, mas estes variam, conforme a textura da rocha. Em rochas com predominância de antigorita e lizardita, recomenda-se o uso da técnica de corte por jato d’água e a gravação a laser de preenchimento para obtenção de texturas superficiais. Em rochas com crisotilo, recomenda- se a realização de cortes com serra diamantada de precisão e o uso da gravação a laser de linhas e preenchimentos, para criação de elementos gráficos de média complexidade. Para o polimento, recomenda-se o uso de lixas de carbeto de silício (carborundum), partindo da faixa de grão 180 até 2000, para rochas com predominância da serpentina antigorita, e da faixa de grão 320 até 2000, para rochas com predominância da serpentina crisotilo. O tempo de cada etapa de lixamento é de 2 minutos e velocidade em torno de 300 rpm. Para proteção do material e obtenção de um brilho mais intenso, recomenda-se a aplicação de resina acrílica como etapa final do processo de beneficiamento.Design as an activity for developing material goods, has been adding cultural characteristics and local knowledge in the development of products. The interest in cultural products brings progress for the producing regions, reflecting in different areas of social life, promoting and increasing the competitiveness of the local market. For this reason technologies are very important, to promote innovations in products, to enable the production process and new applications. So, the union of these two factors, technologies and valorization of cultural products, providing products with a bigger added value, may result in improvement for the producing region and also for its Country. Serpentinite, a rock used as a rare ornamental gemstone occurs in Rio Grande do Sul State (Brazil) and currently does not have commercial use. The main mineral of this rocks are of serpentine group, that may occur as massive and lamelar aggregates (antigorite and lizardite) and as fibrous crystals (chrysotile). This research aims to study processing techniques to apply in this serpentinite, in order to increase its use as gemological material for use in jewelry. The mineralogical characterization of serpentinite were done with a stereoscopic loupe, X-ray diffraction and with petrographic microscopy. The processing techniques tested were cut by water jet, laser engraving, polishing and resin coating. To analyze the interactions of this techniques with the serpentinite, it was used a stereoscopic loupe, a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and a gloss meter. The results obtained with the application of the processing techniques in serpentinite are good, but vary according to the texture of the rock. In rocks with predominance of antigorite and lizardite, is recommend the use of cutting by water jet and the use of filled shapes laser engraving to obtain surface textures. In rocks with chrysotile, it is recommended to use precision cut diamond saw and the use of laser engraving lines and fill shapes to create graphics of medium complexity. To obtain a good polishment, the use of silicon carbide (carborundum) sandpaper is recommended, with the grit of 180 until 2000, for rocks with predominance of antigorite, and the grit of 320 until 2000, for rocks with predominance of chrysotile. The sanding time for each step is 2 minutes with a speed around 300 rpm. To protect the material and to obtain a better luster, is recommend the application of an acrylic resin as a final step of the improvemente process.

Full textAbstract:
An experimental investigation has been undertaken to study the depth of cut in multipass abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting of an 87% alumina ceramic with controlled nozzle oscillation. The experimental data have been statistically analysed to study the trends of the depth of cut with respect to the process parameters. It has been found that multipass cutting with controlled nozzle oscillation can significantly increase the depth of cut. Within the same cutting time and using the same cutting parameters other than the jet traverse speed, it has been found that multipass cutting with nozzle oscillation can increase the depth of cut by an average of 74.6% as compared to single pass cutting without nozzle oscillation. Furthermore, a multipass cutting with higher nozzle traverse speeds can achieve a larger depth of cut than a single pass cutting at a low traverse speed within the same cutting time. A recommendation has been made for the selection of appropriate process parameters for multipass cutting with nozzle oscillation. In order to estimate the depth of cut on a mathematical basis, predictive models for the depth of cut in multipass cutting with and without nozzle oscillation have been developed using a dimensional analysis technique. The model development starts with the models for single pass cutting which are then extended to multipass cutting where considerations are given to the change of the actual standoff distance after each pass and the variation of kerf width. These predictive models has been numerically studied for their plausibility by assessing their predicted trends with respect to the various process variables, and verified qualitatively and quantitatively based on the experimental data. The model assessment reveals that the developed models correlate very well with the experimental results and can give adequate predictions of this cutting performance measure in process planning.

This master’s thesis has been elaborated as a part of master’s studies of engineering technology M2I-K, major in M-STM – Engineering technology and industrial management and deals with the problem of a transition to a self-production of previously purchased distance washers. Distance washers were purchased in six different types of similar shape, each type in four different thicknesses. One of these types was chosen as a representative for this master’s thesis. We shall explore the possibilities of self-production with the emphasis on economical validation of the transition. The distance washer is a flat part, the intermediate being sheet metal. Technologies considered for manufacturing the washers correspond to the technical facilities and equipment available at the production hall of the company this project is planned for. The company possesses technology for CO2 laser cutting, cutting by CNC punching machine and cutting in the punching tool. To provide a complex overview we shall also enquire into cooperated technologies such as water jet and plasma cutting, oxy-acetyleny cutting and CNC working. All options are evaluated with regard to the production expenses and lead to a most economically plausible method of manufacturing or, if need be, give reasons for going back to purchasing the part from the current supplier.
