Abstract

The objective of this paper is to prioritize the identified critical input parameters of AWJM. The identified critical success factors (CSF) for increasing the efficiency of machine are angle of impact, pressure inside the pumping system, abrasive material grain size, stand-off distance, focusing tube diameter, nozzle speed, abrasive mass flow rate, target material properties. The efficiency of machine calculated on the basis of maximum material removal rate (MRR), the minimum surface roughness (SR) and depth of cut. In this paper the identified CSF are analyzed and prioritized by using pare-wise comparison method of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).
