Micro-machining with abrasive slurry-jets: effects of dissolved polymer concentration and nozzle design

The resolution of features machined with abrasive slurry jets is dependent on the diameter of the erosion footprint on the workpiece and on the stability of the jet. Previous work has shown that the footprint size decreases, but the jet oscillation increases, with increasing polymer concentration. The present study investigated the effect of nozzle design on jet stability in abrasive slurry-jet micro-machining of glass using slurries with...
