ABSTRACT 

Abrasive water jet machine (AWJM) is a non-traditional machining process. This is process of removal of materials by impact erosion of high pressure water jet. High velocity of water and high velocity of abrasive particles on a work piece are impinged to cut the material. Experimental investigations were conducted to assess the influence of abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) process parameters on response-Material removal rate (MRR) of EN19 alloy steel. The approach was based on Taguchi’s method and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to optimize the AWJM process parameters for effective machining. Experiments are carried out using L16 Orthogonal array by varying traverse speed, abrasive mass flow rate (AMFR), stand of distance (SOD), and water pressure (WP) for EN19 material. In present study experimental conditions show that the optimum values of the input factors has direct influence on process response, which can provide a theoretical basis for selection of machining parameters to improve its machining efficiency.
