An experimental investigation was conducted on the machinability of particulate reinforced ceramic TiB2/SiC and metal SiC/Al matrix composites by an abrasive water jet. Both piercing and slot cutting experiments were conducted to determine the influence abrasive waterjet machining has on the material. Machining performance was reported by both cut quality as measured by taper and machined surface characteristics. Based on these preliminary experiments, abrasive waterjet machining seems to be a satisfactory machining method for both metal and ceramic matrix composites.

This paper presents a new study on the recycling of Supreme garnet (or IMC garnet) in abrasive waterjet machining. In this study, the reusability of the garnet was investigated. Also, the optimal particle size for the recycling of the garnet was pointed out. In addition, the cutting performance and the cutting quality of the recycled abrasive were investigated by comparing with that of new abrasives. From the results, the way how to recycle effectively the garnet was proposed.
