Unlike lasers, AWJ is a non-thermal process. It eliminates heat-affected zones (HAZ), preventing thermal distortion or changes in the material's properties.
The small jet size allows for omnidirectional cutting and intricate patterns with radii as small as 0.1 mm. MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...
Standard tolerances can reach as low as ±0.01 mm , with surface roughness values (Ra) often below 0.8 µm in hard materials. Common Applications Unlike lasers, AWJ is a non-thermal process
Dicing microelectronic wafers and machining piezoelectric materials without risk of electrical shorts between layers. 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?
