|
| Process Parameters & Technical Data’s |
| |
A Water Jet cutting has more variables than a traditional machining process. The main process parameters that affect cutting speed and quality and typical parameter values are listed as follows: |
|
| Process Applications & Uses |
|
| Process Parameters |
Scopes |
| Workpiece material and thickness |
Any material up to about 75 mm or 3 inch thick |
| Water pressure |
242 -- 380 MPa (35 to 55 ksi) |
|
| Orifice diameter |
240mm, subject to material availability |
| Mixing tube diameter, length |
ID is about 2 -- 3 times of Orifice ID.
Length is about 45--133 times of the ID. |
| Abrasive material, size, and flow rate |
Typical materials are garnet, olivine, and copper slag. Mesh #50 -- 220. |
