Waterjet cutting
If you ever wondered how it is possible to cut such hard materials like stone or steel with usage of water we will cast some light on that topic. Cutting steel with water doesn’t belong to the cheapest options available on the steel cutting market services but it has some unprecedented and unique advantages over all the other methods of steel cutting. The thing we start with is the quality. Yes, quality is the king in steel cutting. Without ability to cut with scalable quality levels of edge smoothness we limit the technology practical use. Fortunately we can scale the quality in water cutting by 5 general factor, where factor 5 is the highest and smoothest one which doesn’t need to be corrected afterwards.
With water steel cutting mechanical pressure around the cutting area is very limited which is great but the most spectacular point of cutting steel by water is no heat influence, no burning or melting down. Waterjet cutting is done in about 100 °F degrees which doesn’t impact steel structure in area of cutting in any way so it lefts the cutted steel edge free of deformation and high-temperature degradation of steel. It is also very clean, we can say almost every part of technological processing is free of chemicals emmission or other pollutions.
Water used to cutting is clean, fueled by electric power and for abbrasive waterjet cutting there can be utilized pure sand (garnet).
With waterjet cutting we can cut various types of steel: stainless steel, aluminium, copper and different alloys.
