Abstract: The main aim of this investigation is to study the abrasive water jet machining performance of the twill weaved carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composite. Abrasive water jet machining experiment was conducted as per L9 orthogonal array, by varying water pressure, transverse speed and SOD. The performance of the composite was analyzed by measuring the material removal rate and kerf. Using Taguchi analysis, the influences of input parameter over the output response was analyzed. It was found that the MRR is highly influenced by the transverse speed whereas kerf is highly influence by the SOD.
