Abstract 

Overview

This dataset contains detailed experimental data from a series of tests conducted to evaluate the performance of a pulsed water jet ablation system. The experiments aim to investigate the effects of various parameters on the ablation process when cutting through material composites such as PLA/Bone Cement and Bone.

Dataset Content

The dataset comprises 13 major tests, each representing a unique set of operational parameters. For each test, the following parameters were recorded:

- Test Number: A unique identifier for each test.

- Frequency: The frequency of the pulsed water jet in kilohertz (KHz) normally set at 20,17 kHz, with some tests conducted without pulsing.

- Pressure: The operational pressure range of the water jet in bars.

- Power: The range of power supplied to the system in watts.

- Distance: The distance between the nozzle and the target material in millimeters (mm), usually set to 4 mm.

- Speed: The speed of the robotarm in millimeters per second (mm/s).

- Nozzle Diameter: The diameter of the nozzle used in millimeters.

- Pin Diameter: The diameter of the guiding pin used in millimeters, where applicable. This represents the distance to the sensor, that was coupled to the material.

- Pin Length: The length of the pin in the system, described as 'short' or 'long'.

- Sample Type: The type of composite material ablated during the test, mainly including PLA/Bone Cement, and Bone Cement alone with variations in combining these materials.
