The power of high-pressure water cutting can be enhanced with the introduction of abrasive materials into the flow of water. The idea of abrasive water jets was first developed in the 1970s to cut everything from titanium to stainless steel.

02/29/2024

The earliest water jet cutting machines produced operating pressures that ranged from 30,000 to 35,000 psi. Today, most industrial systems are capable of generating between 60,000 and 87,000 psi, but 100,000 psi systems are in development.
