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

Frequently Asked Questions

What titanium grades are suitable for Laser / waterjet cutting?
Laser / waterjet cutting can be performed on Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Grade 7, and other grades. The specific grade selection depends on the required mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and end-use application requirements.
What tolerances can be achieved with Laser / waterjet cutting?
Typical achievable tolerances for Laser / waterjet cutting are +0.1 mm. Tighter tolerances may be possible depending on part geometry, material condition, and quantity. Our engineering team reviews each project to determine the optimal tolerance-cost balance.
What quality certifications apply to Laser / waterjet cutting?
All Laser / waterjet cutting operations are performed under ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management System, AS9100D — Aerospace Quality Management, ASTM B265 — Titanium Strip, Sheet, and Plate Standard certified quality management systems. Full traceability documentation, material certifications (EN 10204 3.1), and inspection reports are provided with each shipment.
What is the typical lead time for Laser / waterjet cutting projects?
Lead times for Laser / waterjet cutting vary by complexity and quantity. Prototype quantities (1-10 units) can typically be completed in 3-7 business days. Production quantities require 15-25 business days. Rush orders are available for qualifying projects. Contact our sales team for a specific timeline.
