WATERJET MACHINING

Material processing by separation of particles with traditional processes using cutting tools is not the only method of metal processing. The material may also be removed from the productusing mechanical, thermal, electrical and chemical energy. Most of these procedures had been known for some period of time ago, but some of technologies were not extensively applied in practice. In the paper is described the procedure of cutting of the materials using a water jet, whose application for hard materials demands abrasives to be added into the water stream.
