Metal cutting waterjet

This process of cutting of metals is one of the newest methods of cutting and is different
from conventional cutting processes (cutting by cutting, abrasion, shear, friction or thermal
cutting) This process was first used in glass cutting and by injecting fine abrasive particles they
managed to achieve metal cutting.
The operating principle of this method of cutting is using an abrasive additive (usually
granite) mixed with a high pressure water beam diameter and controlled??? .This beam is going
to play with supersonic speed (is going to use a supersonic speed), it bombards with small
particles and it erodes the surface of the pieces .This technology uses the power of erosion of the
hydro-abrasive jet.

Compared with conventional cutting methods this technology is effective, efficient and
flexible and it is suitable for cutting complex shapes requiring high precision cutting, after the
process of cutting, the obtained (resulting) edges are smooth and with extremely low tolerances
without trace and splash.
The disadvantage of this method of cutting is to be found in the fact that it requires continuous
maintenance, and some generally-high technological costs.
