In abrasive jet machining, material removal takes place by the application of a high-speed stream of abrasive particles carried out by a gaseous medium from a nozzle. Gas can also work as a coolant and hence the surface finish is good and can achieve tight tolerances. Abrasive jet machining is not only used to cut hard and brittle materials that are sensitive to heat and easily chip away but also is employed for deburring and cleaning applications. Abrasive jet machining is free from the heat-affected zone, chatter, shock, and vibrations. Abrasive jet machining is widely used to manufacture electronic devices, liquid crystal displays, tibo-elements, and semiconductors. In the recent past, micro-abrasive jet machining has been widely used for various precision manufacturing applications. Figure 21.15 shows the schematic of the abrasive jet machine, which consists of an air compressor, a dehumidifier to control the humidity in the system, and an abrasive tank to supply the abrasives needed for the process. It is integrated with a kinematic system to provide necessary motion to the nozzle, which accelerates the abrasives needed for eroding the material.

In abrasive jet machining, a focused stream of abrasive particles, carried by high-pressure air or gas is made to impinge on the work surface through a nozzle, and work material is removed by erosion by high-velocity abrasive particles. The AJM differs from sandblasting in that the abrasive is much finer and the process parameters and cutting action are carefully controlled [1–6].

Among all the unconventional machining processes, Abrasive Jet Machining process has evolved recently and has become very popular as this is used for machining hard metals including glass, where accuracy is not of prime importance.
