Hydroabrasive cutting of materials

The process of hydroabrasive cutting is a type of technological process of material processing, and the cutting tool instead of cutters is water supplied with high pressure and enriched with abrasive additives. Water with abrasive additives is fed at high speed under high pressure from a nozzle, destroying the integrity of the metal. A similar phenomenon occurs in nature. It flows naturally and is called erosion.

The result of waterjet metal cutting is a smooth, burr-free cut with perfectly even edges. Additional processing of such a section is not required. The fact that there was no temperature effect on the metal almost completely eliminates the deformation of the material.

The hydroabrasive cutting method is used for cutting any brand of metal or alloy, regardless of the degree of hardness. You can see the process of hydroabrasive metal cutting at the presentation of our company. The whole process is managed and controlled by a computer. This makes it possible to produce complex curved cuts without losing accuracy.

The technology of cutting materials with hydroabrasive cutting

Prepared water is mixed with an abrasive in a hopper and, with the help of a powerful compressor, enters special cutting heads. Specially designed cutting heads with the help of electric drives move in three planes and around their axis at the required angles of inclination.

The speed of the process depends on: pressure in the system, water consumption, the size of the abrasive particles, the hardness of the metal, the angle of the cut, etc. Sand or metal chips can be used as abrasive additives. They play the main role in the cutting process. With the help of water under pressure, abrasive particles enter the deep layers of the metal, tearing off the metal particles from the cut site. At the same time, the water cools the cutting area.

Bending is able to cut material much thicker than all known traditional cutting methods. What is the peculiarity of hydroabrasive cutting of metal?

The main thing is that as a result of cutting, the original physical properties of the metal do not change, since there is no thermal effect on the material.

Thanks to waterjet cutting, it is possible to produce parts of complex shape with great accuracy. This method of cutting allows you to use the processed material more economically.

With the help of hydroabrasive cutting, you can cut almost any high-density material.

This technology can be used for the following materials:

ferrous or non-ferrous metals;
all kinds of alloys;
hard-to-process materials;
ceramic blanks;
stone;
Glass;
concrete and reinforced concrete.
