EFFECT OF THE CHOSEN PARAMETERS ON DEFLECTION ANGLE BETWEEN CUTTING SIDES DURING THE CUTTING OF AGLOMERATED MATERIALS BY WATER JET

The paper deals with the cutting of agglomerated materials by abrasive water jet from the point of view of deflection angle between the cutting sides. It shows the results of deflection angle in dependance on technical and technological parameters (sliding speed and abrasive mass f low) and material parameters (material thickness and cutting direction). Paper also contains the methodology for assessment the effect of these parameters related to the basic cutting directions. Our paper presents significant results of experiments made by this methodology applied on MDF, OSB boards and on technical beech plywood. KEYWORD: Shift speed, abrasive f low, abrasive water-jet, cutting by abrasive water-jet.
