Waterjet Cutting Services
Waterjet cutting is a precision material cutting process that uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with abrasive particles, to cut through metals, composites, plastics, and other materials without generating heat.
Key Features
Cold cutting process – eliminates heat-affected zones and warping
Capable of cutting thick and thin materials with tight tolerances
Can cut complex shapes and intricate patterns directly from CAD drawings
Minimal material waste due to precise cutting
Applications in Ship Repair
Steel, stainless steel, copper-nickel, and aluminum plate fabrication
Cutting of structural components, hull sections, bulkheads, and decks
Custom brackets, supports, and fitting fabrication
Retrofit and repair components with precise replacement parts
Advantages
High precision and repeatability for complex shapes
Maintains material integrity – no heat distortion or metallurgical changes
Reduces post-cutting finishing work
Can handle thick and hard-to-machine metals efficiently
