What is ice jet machining?
• Where,
• H is the Brinell hardness number
• K is the applied load in kilograms
• D is the diameter of steel ball in mm.
• d is the diameter of the impression in mm.
Modified equation
• As standard equipment was not used, the
equation also had to be modified.
Where
k is the hardness number
ǝ is the width of the cut in microns
Measuring the results
• The specimen was coated with liquid
polystyrene.
• Because the indentations were made at low
temperature, and measurements were made at
higher temp. so considerable fogging was
there.
• So for accurate results, indentation made on
the ice was measured on the polystyrene sheet.
Results
• By the experiment a
graph was plotted of
BHN vs Temprature and
it was found that the
hardness of ice
increases with decrease
in temperature.
• After doing the experiment it was found that
the hardness of the ice particle was higher
parallel to the c axis and less perpendicular to
the c axis of the ice particle.
• BHN of ice was found to be ranging between 4
to 17.
Comparison of AWJ, WJ and IJM
Cost in Rupees/hour
Conclusion
• By doing the technical analysis of the IceJet
technology it can be concluded that
production and injection of ice particles in to
the water jet it is not a complicated task but it
requires continuous monitoring of the process
to control the temperatures in order to avoid
clogging and melting of the ice particles.
However this can be automated.
Conclusion
• By doing the economic analysis, it can be seen
that costs are very similar for AWJ and IJ.
• Most significant expense is the cost of
abrasive particles.
• The costs of AWJ will reach the costs of IceJet
in the near future as abrasives are minerals &
are limited in source.
• Ice Jet is an environmentally friendly process
which makes worth its value.
