What is Laser / waterjet cutting?
Laser / waterjet cutting capability for titanium components
Laser processing capability for Laser / waterjet cutting, with precision beam delivery, gas assist systems, and process monitoring for repeatable quality.
Engineering Parameters & Capabilities
Abrasive waterjet cutting of titanium uses a high-pressure stream of water mixed with garnet abrasive to erode material. The cold-cutting process produces zero heat-affected zone, ideal for titanium grades sensitive to thermal cracking, specifically for titanium components. Precision titanium components present unique challenges: Balancing dimensional accuracy with cost per part. Process selection (mill vs. turn vs. EDM vs. laser) optimized for each feature.
| Parameter | Primary Method | Alternative Method |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting Mechanism | High-pressure water + garnet abrasive | Focused laser beam melts/vaporizes |
| HAZ | Zero - cold cutting | 0.05-0.15 mm with N2 assist |
| Max Thickness | 100 mm+ (abrasive waterjet) | 15 mm (fiber laser) |
| Kerf Width | 0.7-1.2 mm | 0.1-0.3 mm |
