The work developed in the master's program, describes the technology of water jet cutting. The theoretical part deals with the description of this technology and it explains the basic concepts used in this field. The practical part was designed to verify some theoretical knowledge. Therefore, several experiments were performed, while there was studied the influence of abrasives on the final quality of the surface and the level of the generated noise. The practical part was completed by the production of the selected component and its technical and economic evaluation.

L’industrie aéronautique nécessite l’utilisation de métaux durs et légers, comme le Titane et l’Inconel mais différentes problématiques d’usinage en fraisage ou par usinage chimique compliquent leur mise en oeuvre. L’objectif du travail de thèse est de développer une méthode d’usinage non débouchant de ces métaux durs par jet d’eau abrasif (JEA) pour la réalisation de poches. Actuellement, ce procédé est limité à la découpe mais en contrôlant les paramètres d’usinage il permet la réalisation de poches à profondeurs constante ou variable en maitrisant les caractéristiques géométriques imposées. Ce travail présente l’étude de passages élémentaires et leur superposition afin de générer un parcours nécessaire à la réalisation d’une poche. Il introduit également diverses stratégies pour l’usinage de poches rectangulaires et propose une correction des paramètres opératoires afin d’obtenir un fond à profondeur contrôlée. / The aviation industry requires the use of hard and light metals such as Titanium and Inconel, but different machining problems in milling process or by chemical machining complicate their implementation. The aim of this thesis is to develop a controlled depth milling on these hard metals with abrasive water jet (AWJ) technology for pockets machining. Currently, this process is limited to cutting operation but by controlling the input parameters and the geometric characteristics it allows the realization of pockets with constant or variable depth. This work shows the study of elementary passages and their superposition to generate a necessary path for the realization of a pocket in AWJ. It also introduces a variety of strategies for machining rectangular pockets and provides a correction of the operating parameters to obtain a controlled depth.

The thesis contains a theoretical part dealing with non-conventional water jet technologies. The first part deals with analysis of water jet technology and possible uses for machining operations. The practical part deals with the issue part of the pump and its possible production process. The conclusion is technical-economically evaluation.
