Advantages of water jet cutting metal

The waterjet cutting process with granular abrasives can create complicated shapes of metals. You can deal with large and flat metal sheets with waterjets. There is no need to apply heat for abrasive water-cutting metal. Thus, your metal items do not have warping, distorting, and melting problems. As metals are harder materials, abrasive jets have the potential to cut through them. You do not need high effort to cut your metal pieces. Therefore, for different manufacturing purposes, you can rely on waterjet cutting metal.
The major reason for choosing waterjet cutting metal is that you do not need to use heat. The cold-cutting process helps you with quality cuts. There is no chance of melting, burning, and cracking issues. Thus, you can choose waterjets as the viable option for cutting any heat-sensitive metal. You can avoid costs for damaged caused by thermal distortion. Thermal processes result in surface hardening, emission of poisonous gases, and warping problems. But, waterjets prevent any of these thermal stresses. You will get desirable results from them.
As metals are of different types, you can find a difference in their thickness levels. Still, metals are easy to cut with a water jet. Durable metal sheets can be cut into different shapes with modern waterjet technologies. Although your metal objects have uneven surfaces, waterjets can manage them properly.
Your metal cutting project will be successful with waterjet. Waterjet cutting is highly advantageous, as it saves your time. You can drill holes and cut metal sheets into intricate shapes. Moreover, you may produce shapes that have minimal inner radii.
The waterjet metal cutting process does not turn out hazardous waste. It helps in the reduction of waste, and you can avoid disposal costs. You may also use a waterjet to cut offer big scrap metal pieces. Moreover, water jet cutting increases the use of materials, as it minimizes kerf. By using a minimal amount of water, you can cut through your metal pieces.
よくあるご質問

FAQ OF
water jet cutting metal

How much is metal thickness manageable with a waterjet?

Using waterjet, you can cut thick steel of about 2″ to 3″. However, when you need to cut thicker steel and other metals, the cutting time will be on the rise. The process is not time-consuming and is highly affordable.

Can I cut parts by checking the original one?

Waterjet cutting is a CNC machining process. That is why you can create a computer model. While it is a very small part, you can place it under a scanner.

Why is water jet cutting better than plasma cutting?

Some manufacturers use plasma cutting for metal cutting purposes. But, a water jet is a better alternative for them. The eco-friendly waterjet cutting process prevents the production of waste. Your worksite will be clean.

What nozzle size do I choose for cutting the metal pieces with water jets?

In most cases, the nozzle distance from the tip is not more than 0.060 inches. Its minimum size is 0.030 inches. You have to know the way of maintaining this distance properly. The professional manufacturers always focus on the stand-off distance to make the project successful.

Does water jet help in cutting metal parts from any direction?

One of the biggest advantages of waterjet cutting metal is that you can cut your piece from any angle and direction. The output of your project will be flawless with the modern waterjet technique. You will have accurate cuts from the process.

Does waterjet metal cutting produce annoying noise?

Some manufacturers claim that waterjet cutting metal turns out a high level of noise. However, the best trick is to place the decibel meter in a proper way. The gap between the supersonic jet and the meter needs to be perfect. While dealing with an underwater metal cutting project, the noise level cannot be higher than 75 dB. But, when there is a large distance between the metal piece and the tube, the noise may reach 95 dB.

What table size is perfect for cutting metal with waterjets?

You have to measure the dimension of the piece of metal. Then, based on it, you can decide on the proper sizing of your worktable for the metal cutting project.

How much water pressure do I apply to cut metal?

As metals are hard pieces, you may need more than 80000 PSI to accomplish the cutting process.
