Metal Cutting – CNC Water Jet Cutting, Water Jet Metal Cutting, CNC Plasma Cutting
Metal Cutting
Metals are very often cut and bent to craft products like metal sheets, metal coils, metal strips, metal flanges, metal fittings, circles, wires, plates for use in various industrial applications. The process employed in cutting metals of different shapes and forms is called metal cutting. There are different methods or processes by which metals are cut into various desirable forms. Some of them are CNC water jet cutting, CNC laser cutting, CNC plasma cutting, oxy fuel cutting, shear cutting.
CNC Water Jet Metal Cutting
CNC water jet cutting is one of the most versatile and fastest growing metal cutting processes in which highly pressurized and forceful stream of water is employed for cutting metals into desired shapes. It is an cost effective way of cutting two dimensional metal shapes in a very wide range of materials without any tooling costs. In water jet cutting process very often water jet technology is implemented with an abrasive additive so that any type of cutting ranging from rapid hole drilling to detailed cuts can be performed on metals for use in automotive applications. The cutting performed by water jet will be so clean, burr-free, crack free and accurate that it will not require any secondary finishing. Moreover when water jet metal cutting is performed on metals there will not be any distortion and no heat-affected zone will be left over past the cutting process. With abrasive water jet system any type of metal like stainless steel, titanium, aluminium, steel, copper, brass etc can be cut into desired shapes. Even non-metallic materials like tiles wood, marble, ceramics, stones, glass, acrylics etc can be cut into fine shapes with this multi purpose metal cutting process.
CNC Plasma Cutting
CNC plasma cutting is a process of cutting sheet metal using a high temperature, high velocity ionized gas stream. The stream is generated by directing the flow of an inert gas through a nozzle where an electric arc ionizes the gas turning some of it to plasma. The hot plasma will melt the metal being cut and high velocity of gas stream will blow the molten metal away from the cut. In plasma CNC cutting no special tooling is required and therefore is an efficient and cost effective method of cutting thicker metal sheets that are made of mild steel and stainless steel. The process is generally employed in cutting two dimensional metal shapes not requiring high accuracy or fine detail.
