Abstract: Abrasive water jet machining is a non-traditional machining Process that offers a productive alternative to traditional technique. Process parameters of machining are optimized for maximum material removal rate using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Technique. PSO is a relatively new and powerful method for optimization and which is used to obtain optimum solution in given circumferences. This research work attempts to achieve maximum metal removal rate in abrasive water jet machining under all constraints which are for different process parameters such that water pressure, nozzle transverse speed, diameter of nozzle, mass flow rate of water and mass flow rate of abrasive. Obtained results are better than Genetic Algorithm which is other optimization technique.
