3” thick mild steel part we processed for a customer.
At AAM Precision Jet Cutting our state-of-the-art abrasive water jets can handle materials up to 12’X6’; and still cut with an accuracy of +- .005”. We can adjust the size of the cutting kerf diameter from .02” to allow for surgically tight edge tolerances, or .045” to provide our customers with a more efficient process.
PJC water jets can handle up to 8” thick steel.
Benefits of abrasive waterjet cutting include:
- Cuts without edge burrs
- Cuts complex patterns without additional tooling
- Generates no heat; materials edge is unaffected.
Materials that can be cut by the abrasive waterjet process:
- Steel (mild, stainless, tool, high alloy, hardened)
- Aluminum, Titanium, Brass, Copper, Bronze
- Inconel, Hastaloy, Tungsten, Invar, Zirconium
- Marble, Granite, Glass, Composites, Plastics, Rubber, Foam
