  1. Water Jetcutting Nathan Halladay & Daniel Zalit December 07,2001

  2. Outline • Process Description • Design Considerations • Advantages • Disadvantages • Web Info • Questions

  3. Process Description • Video • High Pressure + Small Exit = High Velocity • Pump • Nozzle • Computer Controlled • Soft Materials H2O • Hard Materials H2O + Abrasive

  4. Process Description • Video • High Pressure + Small Exit = High Velocity • Pump • Nozzle • Computer Controlled • Soft Materials H2O • Hard Materials H2O + Abrasive

  5. Design Considerations:Capabilities • Cutting • Drilling • Five-axis Processing • Surface Texturing

  6. Water Only: Foam Rubber Plastics Abrasive: Metals Exotic Materials Composites Design Considerations:Material Applications

  7. Design Considerations:Applications

  8. Design Considerations:Applications • 20 min – Includes Setup & Cleanup Time • .5” hastalloy +/-.002” Tolerance

  9. Design Considerations:Edge Finish • Edges have a sandblasted appearance • Harder materials exhibit better edge finish • Finishes will range from 63 RMS to very coarse depending upon the application • Eliminates grinding and polishing, reducing secondary operations costs

  10. Design Considerations:Why use Water Jetcutting? • Eliminates pre-drilling • Narrow kerf allows tight nesting • Cuts all types of materials • Accurate cutting of soft materials • Cuts thick materials • Titanium – 15” • Inconel – 12”

  11. Advantages: Cuts all materials No part distortion No heat affected zone Cut intricate shapes Tight tolerances Easily programmed Non-toxic Disadvantages Start-up Cost Noise Pump Maintenance Water Filtration Slow Cutting Rates Advantages/Disadvantages
