Understanding Machining Components An Overview

Standoff distance refers to the gap between the nozzle and the surface of the workpiece. This distance can significantly affect the energy and concentration of the abrasive jet. A shorter standoff distance can enhance the impact force of the jet, resulting in a higher MRR, but may also cause excessive wear on the nozzle. Conversely, increasing this distance may spread the abrasive jet, potentially reducing the machining efficacy. Adjusting the standoff distance is essential for fine-tuning the AJM process based on the desired outcome.

2. Part Design After material selection, the design phase begins. Engineers and designers collaborate to create detailed CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models that outline the dimensions and features of the parts. This stage is critical, as precise design specifications ensure compatibility with the intended application.
