Micro-channel Milling Using Abrasive Waterjets ... Instant

Unlike lasers, AWJ is a non-thermal process. It eliminates heat-affected zones (HAZ), preventing thermal distortion or changes in the material's properties.

Shaping heat-sensitive components and thin-walled aluminum parts prone to distortion. MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...

While powerful, the process requires high capital investment and precision control to manage the jet's inherent instability and tool wear in the nozzle. Abrasive waterjet micro-machining of channels in metals Unlike lasers, AWJ is a non-thermal process

Dicing microelectronic wafers and machining piezoelectric materials without risk of electrical shorts between layers. including high-strength alloys (316L stainless steel)

The mechanical erosion process leaves a clean surface without the recast layers often found in wire EDM or laser cutting. Key Technical Insights

It can machine virtually any material, including high-strength alloys (316L stainless steel), brittle ceramics (PZT), composites, and laminates.
