Waterjet CuttingIt is common to shape the world around us. Using manufacturing processes, we use machines and raw materials to form final products and apply them to our environment. These applications are anything that transforms inventory or raw material into a usable item intended for a specified purpose. Manufacturing processes, for example, include heat treating, machining, bending, grinding and cutting the initial product. One type of machine important to the industry is called a waterjet. More specifically, it is on a water jet cutting machine that we will focus in this article. The previously mentioned tool facilitates manufacturing cutting processes in special circumstances. Waterjet is a generic term used to describe equipment that uses a high-pressure stream of water for cutting or cleaning purposes. Water jet is a type of machine which is divided into two categories of pure water jet and abrasive jet. Pure waterjet and water-only cutting are terms to specifically distinguish between waterjets that use only water and no additives. Abrasivejet is a subcategory of waterjet in which abrasive materials are introduced to speed up the process. However, these liquids don't do all the work on their own. Water jets work quite simply. The basic idea is that liquid of either type is pressurized and pumped through a system. Then it is forced through a very small hole otherwise called a nozzle opening. At this point, if the jet contains only pure water, it is obviously considered a pure water jet cutting device. Mix water with an abrasive substance and you get a very fine, very fast-moving spray that will quickly erode most materials. Otherwise known as abrasive jet cutting......middle of paper......part does over others.ConclusionAs has been said, waterjets are a versatile tool and innovative. We hope this article has clarified the capacity and general uses of what a waterjet cutter can do. These attributes have been explained to the fullest extent necessary to understand the uses of this machine. As well as how these attributes affect which industries currently use the tool and which could benefit from its use. As a reminder, waterjet cutting is a simple manufacturing process that facilitates the creation of many finalized products through the pressurized spraying of pure water or a mixture of water and abrasive. The wide range of uses is only equal to the number of industries in which it can be used. Moreover, once in these industries, the quality of the final products is only affected by the skills and imagination of the operator or customers to solve the problems..
