Answer: d
Explanation: Abrasive mixture consists of 70 percent water and 30 percent abrasives.

6. What are the materials used for abrasives in Abrasive water jet machining?
a) SiC
b) Corundum
c) Glass beads
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: d
Explanation: All of the materials mentioned above can be used for making abrasives in Abrasive water jet machining.

7. In the machining system of AWJM, which one accelerates the abrasives to remove material?
a) Water only
b) Water jet stream
c) Feeder
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: b
Explanation: Water jet stream accelerates abrasives but not the water only, to remove material.

8. The introduction of compressed air to the water jet enhances the deburring action.
a) True
b) False

Answer: a
Explanation: Compressed air increases the pressure energy of the jet stream, which enhances the material removal rate.

a) 0.01 – 0.50 µm
b) 10 – 150 µm
c) 200 – 500 µm
d) 500 – 1000 µm

Answer: b
Explanation: Grain size of the abrasive particles range between 10 – 150 µm in Abrasive water jet machining.

10. How is the material removed in Abrasive water jet machining?
a) Vaporization
b) Electron transfer
c) Corrosion
d) Erosion

Answer: d
Explanation: In Abrasive water jet machining, material removal takes place by the erosion of the work piece material using abrasives accelerated by jet stream.
