Comparison of water cutting and other cutting methods
For some metal parts, the punching and shearing process can be adopted, which has high efficiency and fast speed, but requires specific molds and tools. Compared with this cutting method, water cutting is more flexible and can be cut at any time for workpieces of any shape, especially when the material is thick. , High hardness, etc., the punching and shearing process will be difficult or impossible to achieve, but the water cutting method is more ideal; flame cutting is also a commonly used cutting process in the metal field, and the cutting thickness range is very large, but its thermal effect is obvious compared with water cutting , The cutting surface quality and accuracy are poor. In addition, water cutting can well solve the cutting processing of some special materials such as high melting point, alloys, and composite materials.
In the cutting and processing industries of glass, stone, ceramics, etc., the traditional method is to use diamond cutters for cutting, sawing, milling, etc. The cutting thickness range is very large and the speed is relatively fast, but for conventional thickness plates, water cutting can be high-precision The cutting process of any curve, the yield rate is high, the production cost is reduced, and the added value of the processed product is greatly improved.
