RESUMO

Abstract High pressure abrasive water jets (HPAWJ) are an emergent excavation technology. Despite being used for several applications since the nineteenth century, it is only in recent decades that this excavation purpose has been considered. This is the result of evolution in high pressure pump technology and parameter investigation. Special highlight should be given to optimization works which improve knowledge about the main parameters. However, studies usually neglect the importance of HPAWJ cutting strategies, and only consider bidimensional approaches as options for nozzle movement. This article analyzes and proposes an operational cycle based on a tridimensional approach for HPAWJ. Higher removal rates and lower energetic consumption are expected in comparison with traditional strategies.
