Özet
This study investigates the potential use of glass waste as an abrasive
in abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting of rocks. A comparative analysis is
presented to evaluate the cutting performance of glass waste in
comparison to garnet, which is the most frequently utilised abrasive
material. The following performance outputs are considered: cutting
depth, cutting wear zone (CWZ) depth, cutting width, material removal
rate (MRR), quality of the cutting surfaces and kerf angle. It is
concluded that glass waste can be successfully used as an abrasive,
particularly for cutting rocks that are not very hard. Finally, it can
be stated that the utilisation of glass waste as an alternative abrasive
to garnet has the potential to engender a number of environmental and
economic advantages.
