                     Example 7.2:

                            Identify three (3) operations that can be performed by abrasive jet machining.

                     Solution:

                                   i.    Cutting small holes.
                                   ii.   Deburring or removing small flash from parts.
                                   iii.   Trimming and beveling.
                                   iv.   Removing oxides or other surfaces films.
                                   v.    Cleaning components with irregular surfaces.
