Standard tolerances can reach as low as ±0.01 mm , with surface roughness values (Ra) often below 0.8 µm in hard materials. Common Applications
The small jet size allows for omnidirectional cutting and intricate patterns with radii as small as 0.1 mm. MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...
Dicing microelectronic wafers and machining piezoelectric materials without risk of electrical shorts between layers. Standard tolerances can reach as low as ±0
It can machine virtually any material, including high-strength alloys (316L stainless steel), brittle ceramics (PZT), composites, and laminates. Why it’s a Game-Changer for Micro-Channels The erosion
This process uses a high-velocity stream of water mixed with fine abrasive particles (typically garnet) to erode material at a microscopic level. Recent advancements in (with diameters as small as 0.2 mm or 0.3 mm) allow for the milling of narrow, controlled-depth channels. Why it’s a Game-Changer for Micro-Channels
The erosion rate is not constant; it typically decreases as the channel gets deeper. Specialized models are used to predict the final topography for deep channels.
