Abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting is one of the advanced machining techniques to solve the different issues raised in the manufacturing process. Machinability of the material, surface damage, profile cutting, micro-/macro-product making, production time and cost are some of the problems caused. Research on AWJ has addressed the major problems to produce engineering components under the eco-friendly environment. It is a short report on AWJ cutting which is used to explain the basic problems and the principle while machining different engineering materials. In this paper, the influence of input process parameters, erodent/abrasive materials and bulk material properties along response on kerf wall inclination, material removal rate and surface quality are discussed in detail. In addition, the electron microscopic images are used to discuss the wear mechanism on different materials. The information discussed in the paper will support young researchers to understand the AWJ process and its scope.

磨料水射流 (AWJ) 切割是解决制造过程中出现的不同问题的先进加工技术之一。材料的可加工性、表面损伤、轮廓切割、微观/宏观产品制造、生产时间和成本是造成的一些问题。AWJ 的研究解决了在生态友好环境下生产工程部件的主要问题。这是一篇关于AWJ切削的简短报告，用于解释加工不同工程材料时的基本问题和原理。在本文中，详细讨论了输入工艺参数、侵蚀/磨料材料和散装材料特性对切口壁倾角、材料去除率和表面质量的响应的影响。此外，电子显微图像用于讨论不同材料的磨损机制。论文中讨论的信息将支持年轻的研究人员了解 AWJ 流程及其范围。
