Surface Roughness and Striation Studies in Hastelloy C-276 using Abrasive Water Jet Machining of Automotive Parts
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hastelloy C-276 is used in heat exchangers, condensers, reactors and pressure vessels where good surface qualities are required. The current research focuses on the striation zone (SZN), angle (SA) and surface roughness (SR) in Hastelloy C-276 using Abrasive Waterjet Cutting (AWJC). The significant variables in the investigation were Abrasive Water Jet Pressure (AWJP), Traverse Speed (TS), Abrasive Mass Flow Rate (AMFR) and Stand-Off Distance (SOD). According to Taguchi's L27 orthogonal array, the responses for each cut test were created. In addition, the principal component-based grey incidence (PGI) technique successfully combines the strengths of both principal component analysis and grey incidence theory used to select the ideal parameter condition. The confirmation results revealed that PGI technique improved surface roughness by 4.02%, striation zone by 6.67% and 1.48% in the striation angle.
