Recently, the carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are started using for many kinds of industrial products. In some cases, CFRP are pasted up on the metal in order to help cover the performance as the industrial products. In this study, the cutting mechanism has been studied when the multi-layered material made of CFRP and A5052 has been machined by abrasive water jet. The effects of the cutting conditions and the construction of the multi-layered material were investigated in the cutting processes. Also, the striations of the machined surface were evaluated with the surface roughness tester and the microscope. The surface characteristics of A5052/CFRP machined by abrasive water jet were found to be significantly different from CFRP/A5052.
