Abstract
In the present study, an attempt has been made to slice tungsten carbide rod with an abrasive water jet machining technique. The objective of this work is to evaluate and characterize the surface roughness of the machined surface. Experiments are carried with varying traverse speeds keeping other parameters constant. The surface is examined in detail using a 3D Optical Profilometer to characterize the roughness parameters which include centre line average deviation (Ra), root mean square deviation (Rq), total height (Rt), maximum peak height (Rp) and maximum valley depth (Rv). It is observed that except Rv, all other parameters increase with an increase in traverse speed.
