ʻO ka Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) kahi hana mīkini e hoʻohana ana i nā ʻāpana abrasive liʻiliʻi i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe mai nā lua nozzle e hana ma luna o ka ʻili o ka workpiece, wili a wehe i nā mea ma o ke kuʻi wikiwiki a me ka ʻoki ʻana o nā ʻāpana.
Ma waho aʻe o ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻili no ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ʻili, me ka uhi ʻana, ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana a me ka plating pre-treatment a i ʻole post-treatment, i ka hana ʻana, kūpono loa nā kiko mīkini liʻiliʻi no ka ʻoki ʻana i ka pā, ka polishing ʻili ākea, ka wili ʻana, ka huli ʻana, ka wili ʻana a me ka ulana ʻana i ka ʻili, e hōʻike ana hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka jet abrasive ma ke ʻano he huila wili, mea huli, mea ʻoki wili, drill a me nā mea hana kuʻuna ʻē aʻe.
A mai ke ʻano a i ʻole ke kumu o ka jet, ua māhele ʻia ka ʻenehana jet abrasive i nā jet wai (abrasive), nā jet slurry, nā jet ea abrasive a pēlā aku. I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio mua mākou e pili ana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻenehana jet wai abrasive.
Ua hoʻomohala ʻia ka wai hoʻoheheʻe wai abrasive ma ke kumu o ka wai hoʻoheheʻe wai maʻemaʻe. Ua hoʻomaka ka Water Jet (WJ) i nā makahiki 1930, ʻo kekahi kumumanaʻo e ʻeli i ka lanahu, ʻo kekahi e ʻoki i kahi mea kikoʻī. I nā lā mua, ʻo ke kaomi e hiki ai i ka wai hoʻoheheʻe wai ke hiki i loko o 10 MPa, a hiki ke hoʻohana wale ʻia no ka holoi ʻana i nā ʻūpā lanahu, ka ʻoki ʻana i nā mea palupalu e like me ka pepa a me ka lole, a pēlā aku. Eia naʻe, me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻepekema a me ka ʻenehana, ua ʻike ʻia nā ʻano hou hoihoi i ke kahua o ka wai hoʻoheheʻe wai honua i ka hopena o nā makahiki 1970, ʻo ia hoʻi ka Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ) i hāpai ʻia e Kauka Mohamed Hashish i ka makahiki 1979.
