Abrasive Waterjet Cutting<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Abrasive waterjet cutting differs from pure water jet cutting in just a few ways. In pure waterjet cutting<\/a>, the supersonic stream erodes the material.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Abrasive<\/span><\/div>
<\/div>\n

In the abrasive waterjet cutting, the waterjet stream accelerates abrasive particles and those particles, not the water, erode the material.<\/p>\n

\"Abrasive<\/span><\/div>\n

The abrasive waterjet cutting machine is much more powerful than a pure waterjet and is capable of cutting hard materials such as metals, glass, stone, and composites: none of which can be cut with a pure waterjet.<\/p>\n

Abrasive waterjet\u00a0cutting machines using standard parameters can cut materials with hardness up to and slightly beyond aluminum oxide ceramic (often called alumina, AD 99.9).<\/p>\n
