Abrasive water-jet machining operates by the impingements of a high velocity abrasive laden water-jet against the work
piece. The jet is formed by mixing abrasive particles with high-velocity water in the mixing region and is forced through the
orifice. The accelerated jet exiting the nozzle travels at a very high velocity and cuts as it passes through the work piece. It is a
difficult task of predicting the values of major cutting performance measures in Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ) cutting. AWJ cutting
process involves a large number of process and material parameters, which are related to the water-jet, the abrasive particles,
and work-piece material.
