Abstract :- Abrasive jet machining offers a solution to the expanding need for machining of brittle materials like single crystals, glasses and polycrystalline ceramics and to perform critical machining to provide complex shapes and workpiece profiles. This machining process is non-thermal, non-chemical, creates no change in the workpiece's microstructure and chemical or physical properties and offers virtually stress-free machined surfaces. Due to that, it is used extensively in machining hard and brittle materials, which are difficult to cut by other traditional methods. There are many process parameters like Abrasive mass flow rate (AMFR), Stand of Distance (SOD), Nozzle diameter, Pressure, abrasive grain size, and traverse speed that affect the performance of the abrasive jet machine. Due to all these process parameters, we can obtain many response parameters like Material Removal Rate (MRR), surface roughness, depth of cut, Radial over cut, taper angle. This paper discusses the individual effect of those parameters on different materials like Alumina ceramic, Glass fibre, Nickel 233 alloys, Kevlar epoxy composites, porcelain tiles, and soda lime glass. This paper presents a literature review to understand the effect of different process parameters like Abrasive grain size, Pressure, SOD on different materials to improve quality and accuracy on an abrasive jet machine.
