Abstract
Conventional machining of polymeric composite materials is often both
tech
nically and economically less effective because the structural characteristics
inherent in fibre reinforcement promote excessive tool wear. In recent years, abrasive
waterjet machining (AWJM) has been proving to be successful in the machining of such
materials. This paper presents a state of the art review of research in AWJM of
polymeric composite materials. Among the main topics discussed are mechanisms of
material removal, productivity and surface quality.
