Abstract
This study investigates the effects of abrasive water jet (AWJ) drilling parameters on the surface characteristics of Yttrium Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ)-coated Inconel 718 superalloy. The influence of water jet pressure (175–325 MPa), abrasive flow rate (250–400 g/min), and jet impact angle (0°–45°) on surface integrity was examined. Surface analysis was performed using a Talysurf CCI Lite instrument and Hitachi S–3400 N scanning electron microscope. Results indicate that minimum process parameters with a 15° piercing angle reduced Sa to 1.451 μm and Sz to 9.140 μm, while maximum parameters at 30° increased Sa to 7.080 μm and Sz to 38.670 μm. SEM analysis revealed that pierced holes were free from thermal defects, with no evidence of cracks or delamination in the ceramic layer.1 Optimizing AWJ drilling parameters, particularly the piercing angle, can significantly enhance the surface quality of YSZ-coated Inconel 718. This study provides insights for improving cooling efficiency and extending component life in jet engine applications.
