This timely volume compiles all of the important, recent researchon high pressure liquid jetcutting and examines the observationsand results of jetcutting studies. High pressure jetcutting helpsengineers understand jetcutting problems from a scientific basisand demonstrates current applications that can increaseproductivity and machining quality, and improve working conditions.

Some vital areas covered include: Jetcutting Equipment, Mechanicsof Material Microfracture During Jetcutting, Structure andHydrodynamics of High-Pressure Liquid Jets, Force Parameters ofJetcutting, Technological Parameters of Jetcutting, andApplications of Jetcutting.

High-Pressure Jetcutting is a must for all engineers in industrywho deal with the machining of high strength, nonmetallicstructural materials or complex surfaces where hand operations arerequired.
