Surface texture analysis of the X5CrNi18-10 steel after cutting with abrasive water jet and photon beam (laser)
Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the geometric structure of the surface of X5CrNi18‑10 steel sheet after cutting with a abrasive water-jet (AWJ) and a photon beam (laser). Both methods and the workpiece material were also described. Using the laser triangulation method, the cut surface texture was measured by opto-digital microscopy. Additionally, microscopic images of the cut surface were made using the Dino-Lite Edge AM7915MZT microscope by ANMO Electronics Co. The analysis of changes in the value of the Sa parameter for the surface after laser cutting and abrasive water-jet showed that the thickness of the cut material has the most significant influence on the obtained measurement results.
