A water jet cutter, also known as a water jet or waterjet, is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using an extremely high-pressure jet of water, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. The term abrasive jet refers specifically to the use of a mixture of water and an abrasive to cut hard materials such as ...
Hydrodemolition of concrete exposing the rebar. Hydrodemolition (also known as hydro demolition, hydroblasting, hydro blasting, hydromilling, waterblasting, and waterjetting) is a concrete removal technique which utilizes high-pressure water, often containing an abrasive material, to remove deteriorated and sound concrete as well as asphalt and ...
A laser microjet is a water-jet-guided laser in which a pulsed laser beam is coupled into a low-pressure water jet. This is used to perform laser cutting functions while using the water jet to guide the laser beam, much like an optical fiber, through total internal reflection.
For example, materials that are damaged by water (like paper). When you try to cut MDF board on a waterjet, the pressure can sometimes cause the material to delaminate unless countermeasures are taken. Iron and steel can be cut without rusting though, as long as they're dried off afterward.--JB Gnome 22:56, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Hydraulic mining. A miner using a hydraulic jet to mine for gold in California, from The Century Magazine January 1883. Hydraulic mining is a form of mining that uses high-pressure jets of water to dislodge rock material or move sediment. [1] In the placer mining of gold or tin, the resulting water-sediment slurry is directed through sluice ...
The pressurized water acting as a cutting jet can be re-used, with adequate filtering, creating a closed water circuit. [ citation needed ] However, the majority of users do not re-use the water. If more widely used, CryoJet may produce a drastic reduction in the amount of abrasive waste spill currently produced during the water jet cutting ...
Climate scientists and meteorologists said the immediate cause of the flooding is called a cut-off lower pressure storm system that migrated from an unusually wavy and stalled jet stream.
Waterjet machining involves the cutting of workpiece by use of a jet of water (usually also included with an abrasive material like garnet) to cut all the way through the thickness the workpiece. A waterjet cutter may be 2-axis to produce 2-dimensional shapes, or 5-axis, to produce almost any 3-dimensional shape.
