There arises many cutting applications, such as waterjet cutting application, laser cutting application, flame cutting application, plasma cutting application, wire cutting application, grinding wheel cutting application.
What are the applications of water jets?
In the cutting industry, there are many kinds of cutting methods, and these methods are very different. The following are the main differences of these cutting methods. You can decide the cutting method according to different industries, materials and other conditions.
1. What are the applications of water jets?
Waterjet cutting application is a way of cutting by mixing water and sand. It can cut different materials. Except for tempered glass, most other materials can be cut. The edges of waterjet cutting materials are very neat, without thermal deformation or heat treatment of materials, etc. Features, the use of waterjet cutting application can eliminate the need for secondary processing, the cutting surface is very smooth, waterjet cutting can cut stainless steel materials with a thickness of 300mm, and the accuracy can reach 0.02mm, waterjet cutting equipment can also cut rubber, metal, marble, glass, etc.
Waterjet cutting will not produce harmful substances. Waterjet cutting can also cut more materials, such as rubber products that cannot be cut by laser, glass, aluminum alloy, copper and other products that cannot be cut by laser equipment. The cutting of these products by laser equipment, from the process In terms of requirements, waterjet cutting is more suitable.
2. What are the laser cutting applications? What are the applications of water jets?
The fiber laser cutting machine uses a fiber laser generator as the light source. The energy density of the laser beam is high, and the light source is stable and reliable. It can be used for both plane cutting and three-dimensional cutting. The cutting speed is fast and the edges are neat and smooth. It is widely used in metal material cutting. Laser equipment is divided into different powers. Laser cutting equipment with higher power can cut thicker metal materials, but laser cutting metal has many characteristics.
For example, when cutting thick metal, the material at the cutting edge will be heat-treated, which will produce changes in material properties, including material strength, material toughness, etc. Laser cutting of 2mm metal sheets is very fast, but deformation will occur. When the laser is cut quickly, the thin metal sheet will be deformed, so the accuracy of the product will be improved. Frequemtly changable, for this reason, in many cases does not meet the process requirements. But at this time, water cutting equipment can avoid this problem to be occurred. Therefore, choosing to use the water cutting equipment will meet the process requirements obviously.
3. What are the flame cutting applications? What are the applications of water jets?
The process of oxyfuel cutting involves a chemical reaction between oxygen and hot steel that heats the metal, softening it and eventually melting it. Heating gas mostly uses acetylene or natural gas. Flame cutting can only cut carbon plates, and is not suitable for other types of metals, such as stainless steel or copper and aluminum. The advantage of flame cutting is low cost, and the maximum cutting thickness can reach two meters.
The disadvantage is that the heat-affected zone and thermal deformation are relatively large, the section is rough and there are many slags. Considering the subsequent processing, more allowance should be made.Generally speaking, flame cutting is very common, the cost is very low, but the process requirements are very low, but cutting metal sheet, flame cutting is not suitable, cutting metal sheet and thick plate using waterjet cutting is better, the heat affected area of flame cutting is relatively large, The thermal deformation of the metal caused is also very large, which requires the operator to have superb cutting technology, which can ensure the cutting accuracy of the metal under the condition of thermal deformation.

What are the plasma cutting applications?The plasma cutting method was invented in the 1950s. It is a processing method that uses the heat of the high-temperature plasma arc to partially melt (and evaporate) the metal at the incision of the workpiece, and uses the momentum of the high-speed plasma to remove the molten metal to form an incision.How to use plasma: focus the nozzle on 3-5mm, open the gear corresponding to the thickness, ignite the plasma cutting head, and move forward evenly. Plasma cutting application often uses manual mode, and it is more used for cutting materials.
5. What are the applications of water jets?
What are the grinding wheel cutting applications?Steel is cut with a high-speed rotating grinding wheel. It is a relatively common cutting method. The grinding wheel cutting machine is light, flexible, simple and convenient to use, and is widely used in various occasions, especially in construction sites and interior decoration. It is mainly used to cut square tubes, round tubes and special-shaped tubes with small diameters.
6. What are the applications of water jets?
What are the saw cutting applications?The method of dividing a workpiece or material by cutting it out of a slot with a saw blade is called sawing. Sawing is carried out with a metal band saw. Cutting off materials is the most basic need for metal processing, so sawing machines are standard equipment in the machining industry. During the use of the sawing machine, it is necessary to select the appropriate saw blade according to the hardness of the material and adjust the optimal sawing speed.

What are the conditions for metal cutting? What are the waterjet cutting applications?
(1) The ignition point of the metal material should be lower than the melting point;
(2) The oxide melting point of the metal should be lower than the melting point of the metal;
(3) The thermal conductivity of metal is poor;
(4) When the metal burns, it should be an exothermic reaction;
(5) The metal contains fewer impurities that hinder cutting and are easy to harden.When the above conditions are not met, metal cutting by waterjet can meet the requirements. The requirements for metal cutting by waterjet are very low, because waterjet is a kind of cold cutting, so there is no need to consider the melting point of metal, thermal conductivity of metal, etc. And other factors, it can be understood that waterjet cutting is equivalent to cold saw blade cutting.
