DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF

ABRASIVE JET MACHINE

 ABSTRACT

 The aim of the project is to design and fabrication of abrasive

jet machine. Abrasive machining is a classification of

manufacturing processes that shape a piece of metal into the

desired part through material removal and material

deformation. Abrasive machining is one of the important

operations in an industry.
 INTRODUCTION

 Abrasive machining is a classification of

manufacturing processes that shape a piece of

metal into the desired part through material

removal and/or material deformation. Raw

material is available in a wide variety of materials.

 Material removal processes can create holes and cut-
outs in any 2D geometric shape. Deformation
processes can bend the sheet numerous times to
different angles or stretch the sheet to create complex
contours. These parts are found in a variety of
industries, such as aircraft, automotive, construction,
consumer products, HVAC, and furniture.
 Scope of the project
 Abrasive jet machining (AJM), also known as abrasive micro-

blasting, pencil blasting and micro-abrasive blasting, is an

abrasive blasting machining process that uses abrasives

propelled by a high velocity gas to erode material from the

workpiece. Common uses include cutting heat-sensitive,

brittle, thin, or hard materials. Specifically it is used to cut

intricate shapes or form specific edge shapes.

• Construction

• Mechanism of delivering power

• Size of working area

• Single or multiple station

• Force rating
Working principle
 Material is removed by fine abrasive sand particles,

usually about 0.001 in (0.025 mm) in diameter, driven

by a high velocity fluid stream; common gases are air

or inert gases. Pressures for the gas range from (170–

900 kPa) and speeds can be as high as 300 m/s. due to

this high velocity of air machining can be done very

accurately.
Nozzles

 Nozzles must be highly resistant to abrasion and are

typically made of tungsten carbide or synthetic

sapphire. For average material removal, tungsten

carbide nozzles have a useful life of 12 to 30 hours, and

sapphire nozzles last about 300 hours. The distance of

the nozzle from the workpiece affects the size of the

machined area and the rate of material removal.

Components
 Operation

 Abrasive jet machining (AJM), also known as abrasive micro-blasting,

pencil blasting and micro-abrasive blasting, is an abrasive blasting

machining process that uses abrasives propelled by a high velocity

gas to erode material from the workpiece. Common uses include

cutting heat-sensitive, brittle, thin, or hard materials. Specifically it

is used to cut intricate shapes or form specific edge shapes.

 Advantages
 • Low cost.
 • Less maintenance.
 • Simple in construction
 • Operating Principle is very easy.
 • Installation is simplified very much.
 CONCLUSION

 With the idea on view, we have completed the project titled

“DESIGN AND FABRICATION ABRASIVE JET MACHINE”

 This project is very much useful for abrasive machining the

sheet metal. Thus by means of the abrasive machining

machine, we can grind the various tool at any position.
