A jet cutting system is a new concept of cutting device wihch requires high pressure up to thousands of atmospheric pressure. The use of water as a cutting medium brings in many of working advantages such as no dust, no gas, and no thermal distortion. And an introduction of abrasives into the water jet flow increases signigicantly cutting abilities and improves cutting performance. Cutting with abrasive water jet involves many operating variables, including design of the cutting system. For efficient cutting, the operating parameters have to chosen properly. In spite of several attempts to develop the cutting model theoretically, all of the optimization of the operating parameters is based upon exerimental results of each jet cutting system. In this paper, the effect of the parameters was measured and analysed in terms of pressure, abrasive, and transverse rate of a workpiece. Most of all, sufficient feeding of abrasives is the most important factor for efficient cutting performance.

Water jet cutting is a new technology using very high pressure water as a cutting tool. Water jet cutting system consists of water preparation part, pressure generation pate, cutting head, and motion part. A PC-based numerical controlled (PC-NC) X-Y table is developed and water get cutting system is installed thereon. Water jet machining is applicable to various kinds of materials ranging from soft materials such as rubber and meat to hard-to-cut materials such as titanium. This paper shows the application of the abrasive waterjet system to titanium cutting.

We investigated the most effective cutting interval for underwater nutrient removal through cut off the emergent part of hydrophytes at artificial vegetation island (AVR) which was installed for the purpose of water quality improvement in Lake Paldang. We divided the planting area of Phragmites japonica into three parts according to the cutting intervals. The shoot height and relative growth rate of P. japonica, nutrient contents and biomass of cut off P. japonica were measured at each cutting interval. The amount of nutrients which were removed through cut off at each cutting interval was calculated. P. japonica showed full growth, 80% and 60% of full growth before first cut off at three-months, two-months and one-month cutting interval condition respectively. Three-month cutting interval condition showed the largest biomass of cut off P. japonica and one-month cutting interval condition showed the least. However the cut off P. japonica showed the highest content of nutrients at one-month cutting interval condition and the least at three-month cutting interval condition. The amount of phosphorus and nitrogen removal at two-month cutting off condition is the largest among three cutting interval conditions indicating that cut off the emergent part of P. japonica every two months is the most effective to remove the nutrients from water at AVR in eutrophic lakes.

The application of abrasive-assisted high energy water-jet was investigated as a possible new method of cutting wood. In this study the maximum cutting speeds for species of various wood density were determined and water-jet machining characteristics were investigated for sixteen Korean domestic species. The maximum cutting speed ranged from 200 to 750 mm/min. The results indicate that wood density affects machining characteristics such as maximum cutting speed, surface roughness, and kerf width. Roughness of surface generated increased and kerf width decreased as penetration depth increased.

Metal cutting operations involve generation of heat due to friction between the tool and the pieces. This heat needs to be carried away otherwise it creates white spots. To reduce this abnormal heat cutting fluid is used. Cutting fluid also has an important role in the lubrication of the cutting edges of machine tools and the pieces they are shaping, and in sluicing away the resulting swarf. As a cutting fluid, water is a great conductor of heat but is not stable at high temperatures, so to improve stability an emulsion type mixed fluid with water and oil is often used. It is pumped over the cutting site of cutting machines as a state of atomized water droplet coated with oil by using jet. In this paper, to develop cutting fluid supplying nozzle to obtain ultra thin oil film for coating water droplet, a numerical analysis of three dimensional mixed fluid Jet through multi-stage nozzle was carried out by using a finite volume method. Jet flow characteristics such as nozzle exit velocity, development of mixing region, re-entrance and jet intensity were analyzed. Detailed mixing process of fluids such as air, water and oil in the nozzle were also investigated. It is easy to understand complex flow pattern in multi-stage nozzle. Important flow Information for advance design of cutting fluid supplying nozzle was drawn.

Water jet has been employed in extraacton of minerals for many years but the applications of low pressure jent s ar emodfined to some fields. With increasing strength of equipment it is possible to consider the use of high speed water jets for cutting hard rock. The high speed water jet technology is applied to various engineering fiels such as precessing rocks, quarrying rocks, mechanical fracturing as wel as rock excavation under the sea. For slot cutting in rocks with high speed water jets it is necessary to establish the empirical formula for estiamation of the cutting depth. The cutting depth is influenced by cutting parameters such as driving pressure, traverse speed, standoff distance, and shape and diameter of nozzel. Tests were carried out with a variety of cutting parameters on three types of granite. Nozzle pressures ranged from 1,200 to 2,800 bar, traverse speeds from 0.45 to 10.38 cm/min, standoff distances from 4.5 to 13.5 mm, and three types of nozzle diameter were used.

CNC lathe machining has been widely used for parts machining of vehicles, aircraft, ships, electronics, etc. because cost savings for shortening processing time and increasing productivity are great. In this study, the purpose is to investigate the effect of cooling methods such as oil mist, water-soluble cutting oils on the workpiece surface roughness with the cutting speed, cutting depth, tool nose radius and feed rate of CNC lathe machine as a parameter in the cutting process of the aluminum alloy 2024 which is used a lot recently on aircraft parts. It is found that oil mist is coolant and water-soluble cooled by cutting the experimental conditions, cutting speed and cutting depth without effecting the surface roughness value was constant.

This experiment was carried out to know the effects of soil water potential of cutting bed and relative humidity on the rooting of stem cutting in the field plots. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The most number of the rooted cutting was found from 70 to 80% of relative humidity in Spring and from 90 to 100% in Summer respectively. 2. It was found that the number of rooted cutting was the least in the range of 0 to-0.006 bar of soil water potential of cutting bed in the case of Spring cutting, whereas in Summer the number of the rooted cutting was the most one in the range of -0.049 to -0.124 bar of soil water potential of cutting bed. 3. High signification was recognized between the relative humidity and the number of the rooted cutting only in the Spring cutting, but that of soil water potential and the number of the rooted cutting was found to be significant in every season.

The purpose of this study is to establish a standard for proper selection of water soluble cutting fluids, such as Emulsion type, Semi-Synthetic type and synthetic type, by investigating cutting effects at the normal temperature(26$\circ$C) and cooling temperature(0$\circ$C) from the viewpoint of cooling and lubricant actions. This paper describes a relation among cutting force, surface roughness and cooled water soluble cutting fluids which are considered as effective restraints on Built up edge.

In metal cutting, water-soluble cutting oil is used for cooling the surface of the workpiece and improving the surface roughness. However, waste cutting oil contains preservatives and surfactants, and if it is discarded as it is, it has an great influence on environmental pollution. For this reason, regulations on the use of cutting oil are being stricter. Hence, the development of eco-friendly treatment technologies is required. In this study, a diamond electrode doped with boron on a niobium substrate was deposited by thermal filament chemical vapor deposition and waste cutting oil was treated using an electrochemical method. Compared to the total amount of organic carbon contained in the waste cutting oil, it was confirmed that the boron-doped diamonds developed from this study showed much better performance than electrodes that has been widely used before.
