Abrasive Machining has been seen making a significant advancement in
recent years. Localized erosion with intensification-based technology used in
manufacturing is known as Abrasive jet machining. This paper emphasizes on the
recent advances being done in the various parameters and innovative techniques like
thermal assistance, completely or intermediate submerge conditions on jet used for
machining etc. Advancement in AJM is also seen in certain areas like tribology. There
are certain areas like micro machining and polishing of small micro channels which
also harness its advantages. It is also found that a new way of machining has been
developed using elastic erosion. Other than this, certain parameters like material of jet
nozzle, its design criteria, particle size, and flow rate of jet used are reviewed too. large
amount of micro machining and Composite material machining advancements has been
witnessed using the Abrasive jet machining.
