Water abrasive injector jet
The water abrasive injector jet is an advanced material processing method in which a high-pressure water jet is mixed with abrasive particles. This jet is used to create precise cuts and shapes in various materials. The process is particularly suitable for hard and brittle materials such as metal, ceramics and glass, but also for softer materials such as plastics and composites.
The high-pressure water jet accelerates the abrasive particles, which then hit the material at high speed and remove it by erosion. This technology enables precise cuts without thermal stress on the workpiece, which prevents material changes and deformation. The abrasive water jet is used in numerous industries, including aerospace, automotive and electronic component manufacturing. Another advantage of the process is its ability to machine complex geometries and fine details, making it a versatile and precise method for different applications.
