Water Jet cutting is one of the fastest growing engineering techniques due to the benefits it offers. The water jet allows for precision cutting, fabrication, or manufacture of parts for machinery and other devices.
Using this technique will allow the cutting of any shape but critically without any heat stress or warping in the material.
This technique works by adding abrasive (garnet) mixture to the pressurised water and forcing it through a small hole for precision cutting through metals.
Benefits of using Waterjet Cutting Techniques:
At Castle Metals, we are able to provide these services with our water jet cutting machine which has the following capabilities:
Standard Water Jet Processing Tolerances:
| Thickness (mm) | Tolerance (mm) |
|---|---|
| 0.50 – 12.00 | +/- 0.25 |
| 12.00 – 50.00 | +/- 0.50 |
| 50.00 – 76.00 | +/- 1.00 |
| 76.00 ≥ | +/- 2.00 |
