INTRODUCTION TO AJM

What is AJM ?
Working of AJM ?

BLOCK DIA OF WORKING OF AJM

APPLICATION OF AJM
In cutting slots
Thin sections, contouring
Drilling
For producing shallow crevices
For producing intricate shape in
hard
and Brittle
materials
Often used for cleaning and
polishing of
plastic, nylon and
Teflon components
Etching of marking on glass
cylinder

Gas

ADVANTAGE OF AJM
Ability to cut intricate hole shape.
Ability to cut fragile & heat sensitive
material without damage as no heat is
generated due to passing of gas or air.
Low capital cost.

DISADVANTAGE OF AJM
MRR is slow.
Limited application.
Machining accuracy is poor.
Nozzle wear rate is high.
Additional cleaning of work
surface may required.

INSTRUMENTATION
What is instrumentation ?
WHICH PARAMETERS WILL BE ADDED IN
THE EXISTING MACHINE?
FLOW METER
VIBRATOR
ABRASIVE MATERIAL
ABRASIVE GRAIN SIZE
STAND OF DISTANCE
PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE

FLOW METER

The material removal rate

can be improved by increasing the
abrasive flow rate provided the
mixing ratio can be kept constant
as shown in Chart - (2). The
mixing ratio can be kept
unchanged only by a simultaneous
increase of both gas and abrasive
mass flow.

CALIBATED VIBRATOR
Calibrated vibrator is used for proper
mixing of abrasive particles in the air stream is
provided vibrating motion to the mixing chamber.
Our vibrator including linear vibrating
feeder have the advantages of stable vibration,
reliable working, and long service life and so on.
Vibrating machine can provide materials evenly
for crushing machinery, and make coarse
separation.

DIFFERENT ABRASIVE MATERIALS

Aluminum Oxide, Al2O3.
Silicon Carbide, Sic.
Boron Carbide, B4C.
Cubic Boron Nitride, CBN.
Diamond.

SHAPE AND SIZE OF ABRASIVE

Blocky Shape (High Bulk density)
Blocky Shape (Medium Bulk density)
Sharp Shape (Low Bulk density)
Platelet Shaped
Extreme Shapes

VARYING STAND OFF DISTANCE

At starting the
MRR increases with
increase STD up to
certain limit then it will
be constant for some
limit and after that
MRR decreases with
respect to STD.

PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE

From the graph we

conclude that With the
help of pressure regulating
valve
gas
pressure
increases the MRR is also
increases.

FUTURE WORK

Install the flow meter and vibrator.

Perform the experiment.
