Abrasive waterjet machining (AWJM) can perform various machining operations on almost any material including hard to machine materials. However, performance of a process depends on the chosen set of parameters. AWJM has major parameters such as traverse rate, water pressure, standoff distance and abrasive flowrate that will affect its performance.
