The advantages of waterjet cutting in stainless steel process：

1.Low cost:

Compared with laser cutting, water cutting costs are relatively much lower. For example, the price of laser-cutting equipment. With the same configuration for as long as one-third of the price. If the batch is down, the overall efficiency of the quantity impact of the price can be imagined.

2.Cutting thickness:

Waterjet cutting with sand can even cut steel plates above 20cm, and the cutting penetration ability is much higher than that of laser cutting. For product objects with a certain thickness, choosing waterjet cutting can be more scientific and efficient

3.Pollution is less:

Laser cutting or other cutting methods can evaporate the cut material into the air, forming odorous or toxic fumes. Water cutting uses the impact of water flow to mix pollutants with water and will not be released into the air. Therefore, water cutting is also a greener and healthier cutting method.

4.Any metal or non-metal can be cut

Water cutting can cut almost any item, while laser cutting cannot cut reflective items or special sensitive items (flammable, explosive). Waterjet cutting has almost no cutting restrictions, and it can be cut.

5.Won’t change the texture

Water cutting can be classified as a physical cutting method, while laser cutting will form an oxide layer or curl due to heat through high temperatures.

Disadvantages of waterjet cutting

1.Relatively slow speed

The speed of waterjet cutting is relatively slower than that of laser cutting, especially in mass production, the speed becomes a very big limiting factor.

2.The precision of cutting

In terms of cutting accuracy, laser cutting is better. Good laser cutting equipment has a very smooth cutting surface without oxidation marks. Although water cutting is also very accurate, there is still a certain gap compared with laser cutting.

3.Waste of water resources

Especially in some places where water resources are scarce, the cost and limitations of water cutting will be magnified, and the water quality is not easy to filter, which may cause damage to equipment, so water resources have also become a major problem.

4.Consume

The sand mixing tube, jewel nozzle, and sand particles of the water jet are all consumable accessories, which will wear out slowly during work and have to be replaced after a period of time. Therefore, the consumption in production and life is also a part of the cost that cannot be ignored.
