It involves using a high-pressure water stream flowing through a small-diameter nozzle. Water particles have <strong>high kinetic energy<\/strong>, which is sufficient to handle cutting many substances. However, if their hardness is greater, appropriately matched <strong>abrasive material<\/strong> is additionally used. Its particles strike the material, causing systematic detachment of its fragments, while the water prevents dust formation and cools the cut surface.    <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Where is water cutting used?<\/h2>\n<p>Water cutting is effective where <strong>high precision and low surface roughness<\/strong> are needed. It is useful for materials sensitive to thermal stress. The computer-controlled positioning and movement of the cutting head enables <g id=\"gid_1\">curved and straight cuts<\/g> with multiple breaks, and also allows for cutting holes with any parameters. Water cutting is used for <g id=\"gid_2\">ferrous metals<\/g>, mainly steel and non-ferrous metals \u2013 <g id=\"gid_3\">copper and aluminum alloys<\/g>, as well as magnesium, for example. It can also be used for concrete, <strong>natural stone<\/strong> and synthetic stone, as well as <strong>ceramics<\/strong>, glass, and <strong>plastic<\/strong>. Sometimes it is used to cut bulk materials like foams or sponges.     <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparing materials for further processing and giving the desired final shape to individual manufactured elements usually requires the use of appropriate cutting technology.
