Abstract

This paper deals with presenting a manufacturing cutting process of munitions disposal by abrasive waterjet in order to increase safety of operator, environmental protection and material utilization. The paper aims at proposing an automatic line with abrasive waterjet cutting of unused munitions in order to utilize raw materials, increase safety and environment protection and exclude workers from the process. In order to find out and analyze the cutting process behaviour a non-thermal experimental cutting was performed of 100 mm antitank bullet Nk 100 ShK 44 TK by abrasive jet. Based on experimental results the structure of AWJ automated cutting system for discarded munitions was proposed. This unconventional technology can be easily implemented by this system. Increased effectiveness is also possible during munitions processing with the utilization of obtained metal scraps.
