Composite Waterjet Cutting in Chennai
Today composites come in many forms including carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP); fiberglass; and composite foams, plastics, paper, or metal. An abrasive waterjet’s supersonic erosion can cut nearly any material, and the low contact force eliminates the need for bulky tooling.
Benefits to Cutting Composites with Waterjet
- Increased productivity, fast cutting, and high-quality parts
- Raw material savings — reduced scrap
- Low operating cost — waterjet orifices and abrasive focusing nozzles require occasional replacement
- Omni-directional cutting, even at tight inside corners
- Single-pass cutting, depending on material thickness
- No thermal damage
- Cut dust free
- Net or near-net cutting, little or no hand finishing
Composite is a material composed of two or more source materials, where the characteristics of the composite are superior to those of the source materials. Examples include resin types, glass fibre, fibre-reinforced plastics and concrete.
Composites that have been developed for particularly high performance use fibres that further strengthen the strength of materials such as carbon and graphite.
