It can machine virtually any material, including high-strength alloys (316L stainless steel), brittle ceramics (PZT), composites, and laminates.
The mechanical erosion process leaves a clean surface without the recast layers often found in wire EDM or laser cutting. Key Technical Insights MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...
Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) technology has evolved beyond heavy-duty industrial cutting into a precise solution, specifically for creating intricate micro-channels in hard-to-machine materials. What is Abrasive Waterjet Micro-Milling? It can machine virtually any material
The small jet size allows for omnidirectional cutting and intricate patterns with radii as small as 0.1 mm. including high-strength alloys (316L stainless steel)
Unlike lasers, AWJ is a non-thermal process. It eliminates heat-affected zones (HAZ), preventing thermal distortion or changes in the material's properties.
