Waterjet Industry FAQ
What is waterjet cutting?
Waterjet cutting is a cold cutting technology that uses ultra-high-pressure water, with or without abrasive materials, to cut different types of materials with high precision and smooth edges.
What materials can Waterjet Cutting Machines cut?
Waterjet cutting machines can cut a wide range of materials, including:
- Stainless Steel
- Carbon Steel
- Aluminum
- Copper
- Brass
- Titanium
- Glass
- Stone
- Ceramics
- Rubber
- Foam
- Plastic
- Composite Materials
- Carbon Fiber
- And More
What are the advantages of waterjet cutting?
Waterjet cutting offers several advantages:
- No heat affected zone
- Smooth cutting edges
- High cutting precision
- Minimal material deformation
- Suitable for thick materials
- Wide material compatibility
What is the difference between pure water cutting and abrasive waterjet cutting?
Pure water cutting is mainly used for soft materials such as foam, rubber, textiles, and paper.
Abrasive waterjet cutting mixes abrasive materials with high-pressure water, making it suitable for cutting hard materials like metal, stone, glass, and ceramics.
What industries use waterjet cutting machines?
Waterjet cutting is widely used in industries such as:
- Metal Fabrication
- Stone Processing
- Glass Manufacturing
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Construction
- Shipbuilding
