High Energy Fluid Jet Machining (HEFJet-Mach): From scientific and technological advances to niche industrial applications

摘要: Abstract With the increasing demands to generate complex parts on ever-more advanced, but difficult-to-cut materials, a group of technologies, generically called High Energy Fluid Jet Machining (HEFJet-Mach) has found niche applications that stimulated further development science and technology in this field. Here HEFJet-Mach refers unrestrained fluid jets used remove and/or deform workpiece material. The aim paper is systematically present recent developments from various perspectives: machine/system designs; modelling both jet plumes their interactions with target surfaces; part quality including material integrity; supervision control process; key aspects machine maintenance health safety.
