Abstract
In this paper, an erosion-based model for abrasive waterjet (AWJ) turning process is presented. In the AWJ turning process a particular volume of material is removed by impacting of abrasive particles to the surface of the rotating cylindrical workpiece. This volume is estimated according to the modified Hashish erosion model; thus radius reduction at each revolution is calculated. The distinctively proposed model considers the continuous change in local impact angle due to change in workpiece diameter, axial traverse speed of the jet, the abrasive particle roundness and density. The accuracy of the proposed model is approved by experimental tests under various traverse speeds. The final diameters estimated by the new model are in good accordance with the experiments.
