What is suitable for cutting titanium?
When it comes to cutting titanium, waterjet cutting is a particularly effective method. Waterjet cutting is a cold cutting technique that does not generate heat and therefore avoids the risk of deformation or structural changes to the material caused by heat, which can occur with titanium. Waterjet cutting produces precise cuts without burr formation and requires minimal post-processing.
In addition, this method can easily make adjustments to the complexity and thickness of titanium. It is also characterized by its ability to work in an environmentally friendly way, as it produces no harmful exhaust gases or by-products. At Eckert Cutting, we offer high-quality waterjet cutting machines that are ideal for cutting titanium and help our customers achieve optimal results.
Which cutting process is best suited to cutting metal?
Which cutting process is best suited to cutting metal?
Which cutting method is the best depends on various factors. The type of metal itself, the cutting thickness and the required cutting quality all have an influence on this. The cutting speed can also play a role depending on the production volume.
Can you cut steel with water?
Can you cut steel with water?
Pure water alone cannot cut through steel, as plain water is not hard enough. But with waterjet cutting, the water can be mixed with abrasives such as garnet sand. This massively strengthens the water jet so that steel and other hard materials can be cut precisely.
