Abstract
Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ) machining is one of the manufacturing technologies with highest market growth. It is a process in which material is removed from a work piece using mineral abrasive particles. Due to this principle, AWJ machining technology produces significant amount of waste products that consists mainly on the mineral abrasive. It is possible to cut softer materials with pure water jet (WJ), but efficiency is then reduced. In order to increase the efficiency of the WJ machining and to make the process more sustainable than AWJ, the Ice Jet (IJ) technology was developed. The IJ technology aims to supplement the currently used AWJ technology in several applications. Unfortunately addition of liquid nitrogen to a high-speed water jet can cause dispersion of the jet and consequently reduction of cutting efficiency.
Previous experiments in the field of jet diameter measurement have been done by different research groups. In this thesis these methods and the results from the studies ...
