Process models and control strategies for abrasive waterjet precision cutting of amorphous magnetic metal parts for energy efficient electrical machines

非晶磁性金属（AMM）是电机中最节能的材料，可以节省使用普通磁芯材料的电机所浪费的能量的36%以上。由于电机耗电量约占总发电量的70%，预计每年可节省约9亿澳元的电费，并可在澳洲每年减少250万吨温室气体排放。该项目将开发一种独特的技术，能够将AMM切割到所需的质量和生产力。它的目标是前沿技术和环境可持续发展的澳大利亚的国家研究重点。

Amorphous magnetic metal (AMM) is the most energy-efficient material for electrical machines and can save more than 36% of the energy wasted by an electrical motor using an ordinary core material. Since electrical motors consume about 70% of all the electricity generated, energy saving of approximately $900 million annually in electricity bills, and an annual reduction of 2.5 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia are expected. This project will develop a unique technology able to cut AMM to the required quality and productivity. It targets the national research priorities in Frontier Technologies and An Environmentally Sustainable Australia.
