Abstract

The Young’s modulus of abrasive and the material to be cut will have different influences on the cutting performance of the abrasive suspension jet (ASJ). It is found that the relative ratio of their Young’s modulus seems to show a better law on cutting performance of ASJ. In this paper, the concept of relative Young’s modulus was proposed, the influence of relative Young’s modulus on cutting performance of ASJ was explored, and the experiment of the influence of relative Young’s modulus on the kerf depth and surface roughness of ASJ was carried out. The results showed that the kerf depth increases with the increase of relative Young’s modulus. When the value is larger than 1, the density of the abrasive is the main factor affecting the kerf depth. When the value is smaller than 1, the Young’s modulus of the abrasive is the main factor affecting the kerf depth. The surface quality is divided into three degrees according to roughness. When the relative Young’s modulus is smaller than 1.5, it is a poor erosion degree. When the relative Young’s modulus is between 1.5 and 4, it is the best quality degree. When the relative Young’s modulus is larger than 4, it is an over erosion degree.
