The influence of mixing water and abrasives on the quality of machined surface

This paper shows the impact of mixing water and abrasives in water jet cutting process on the quality of the machined surface. The tests were done with polymer material SIPAS, where the influence of cutting parameters was researched (cutting pressure, cutting feed and abrasive mass flow). The surface roughness was measured on several zones, regarding the depth of materials, because the roughness is increased with the material thickness
