	abstract="{The effects of high-pressure abrasive water jet (AWJ) machining strongly depend on the dimensions and distribution of the
abrasive grains. This study explores how abrasives break down during the generation of AWJ operations. Following formation in
the cutting head, the abrasive material's grain size was measured, and the Folk and Ward technique was used to assess
grain distribution. Grain distribution was examined first concerning the various abrasive grain concentrations in the jet,
such as alumina, ilmenite, and industrial glass. The recovery analysis was also conducted for each tested abrasive material,
and the recycling factor was calculated. The recovery analysis was also conducted for each tested abrasive material, and the
recycling factor was calculated.}",
