Introduction to Water Jet Cutting Technology<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Water jet cutting has revolutionized the metal fabrication industry, offering a versatile and precise method for cutting various steel materials without heat-affected zones. This cold cutting process uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with abrasive particles, to slice through everything from thin stainless steel sheets to thick carbon steel plates.<\/p>\n

How Water Jet Cutting Works<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The process begins with an intensifier pump that pressurizes water to levels up to 90,000 PSI. This pressurized water is then forced through a tiny orifice (typically 0.008-0.020 inches in diameter), creating a supersonic stream. When cutting steel and other hard materials, garnet abrasive is added to the water stream, enabling it to erode even the toughest alloys with remarkable precision.<\/p>\n

Unlike thermal cutting methods, water jet cutting doesn\u2019t generate heat, preserving the intrinsic properties of the steel. This is particularly crucial for:<\/p>\n
