Abrasive water jet machining was introduced to manufacturing ten years ago and has been increasingly used for treating hard-to-machine and multi-layered materials and as an alternative tool for milling, turning, drilling and polishing. This is the first comprehensive review of the technique, dealing with a broad range of issues including mixing and acceleration processes, material removal mechanisms, process optimization and fluid mechanics. Explanations are given as the book follows the development of an abrasive water jet machining process, from tool generation through to machining results, supervision and control. This methodical journey through the field is marked by drawings, graphs and tables, many of which are being published here for the first time. Though the book is written at an academic level, it focuses very much on practical applications, which reflects the authors'' extensive involvement with both laboratory research and industrial practices.

Die Bearbeitung und Prüfung von Betonoberflächen ist in zweierlei Hinsicht von Bedeutung: Zum einen werden in der Architektur Verfahren zur Oberflächenbearbeitung gezielt zur Gestaltung von Betonoberflächen eingesetzt; zum anderen müssen im Rahmen von Instandsetzungsmaßnahmen Betontraggründe wiederhergestellt und für die Beschichtung saniert werden. Das Buch beschreibt die Verfahren zur Oberflächenbearbeitung nach den Kriterien: Wirkungsmechanismus, Komponenten, Anwendungsbereiche, erzeugte Traggrundqualität, Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz sowie Entsorgung und Kosten. Im zweiten Teil des Buches werden Prüfungsmethoden und Beurteilungskriterien beschrieben, die für die Qualität des Betonuntergrundes ausschlaggebend sind. Abschliessend geben die Autoren Hinweise zur Verfahrensauswahl, zu Ausschreibungs- und Vergaberichtlinien sowie zu Umweltschutzmaßnahmen.
