Dimensional Variation of Polyurethane Foam Panel on Circular Cutting with Abrasive Water Jet Technology
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 43
Abstract
The abrasive water jet method can offer a suitable solution for manufacturing of polyurethane foam panel that are usually difficult to do. This paper presents the results of some experiments on abrasive water jet cutting of circular holes into polyurethane foam panel. The main problem which occurs is the tapered shape of the hole, due to the mechanics of the process and the control of the surface produced by the abrasive water jet. The experiments considered several values of the main process parameters like the feed rate and nozzle diameter which have a direct influence on the part cutting process. After measuring the parts, there were analyzed the main dimensional parameters of precision to reveal the proper solution for obtaining the required quality of the process.
