INTRODUCTION TO WATER JET
Key element in WJM is a jet of water.
The water, in this case, acts like a saw and cuts a narrow groove in the work piece material.
True cold cutting process – no HAZ (Heat Affected Zones), mechanical stresses or operator
and environmental hazards
PRINCIPLE
When the a high pressure (150-1000 MPa) and high velocity (540-1400 m/s) of water jet
comes out of nozzle and strikes the work piece of the material, its kinetic energy is converted
into pressure energy including high stresses in the work material. When this induced stress
exceeds the ultimate shear stress of the material, small chips of the work piece material get
Water is the most common fluid used, but additives such as alcohols, oil products and
glycerol are added when they can be dissolved in water to improve the fluid characteristics.
WHY USE WATER JET?
It can cut almost everything, with greater efficiency and productivity.

PURE WATER JET CUTTING
Pure Water jet is the original water cutting method. In which pure
water is compressed at very high pressure & released through a
narrow opening.
It forms water jet, which comes out at the speed of up to 850 m/s
The largest uses for pure water jet cutting are disposable diapers,
tissue paper, and automotive interiors .

ABRASIVE WATER JETS
In abrasive water jet, the water jet stream accelerates abrasive particles and
those particles erode the material from the work piece.
The abrasive Water jet is hundreds of times more powerful than the pure
