Additional information

This paper presents an innovative method allowing plain waterjets to generate pockets of good dimensional/geometrical definition (with minimal under/over-erosion). The proposed method leads to the avoidance of grit embedment on the target workpiece and the elimination of the extra cost and time associated with the use of masks. The innovation described in the paper has resulted in patent applications (assignee: Rolls-Royce Plc.) in the United States and Canada, with a European Patent granted (EP 2 113 348 B1, A method of fluid jet machining). Contact person: Ms. Ruth Barcock, Patents Manager, Rolls-Royce Plc. (e-mail: ruth.barcock@rolls-royce.com).
