Abrasive for Water Jet Cutting

There are several types of abrasives used for water jet cutting, such as garnet, stellite, olivine, crushed glass, and red garnet. Among them, Garnet Abrasive #GarnetAbrasive is the most popular choice for water jet machines due to its balanced attributes of cutting speed, cost-effectiveness, and low silica content. Maintaining low silica content is crucial for health reasons, as exposure to silica particles can lead to serious respiratory diseases.

Garnet Abrasive for water jet cutting is available in three sizes. #GarnetAbrasive #WaterJetCutting #WaterJetAbrasive

- #80 mesh: Suitable for general cutting of materials like steel, carbon, stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium. It is the most preferred size for water jet cutting due to its optimal balance between cutting speed and precision, as well as cost-effectiveness for businesses.

Tips for Usage:

1. Avoid contamination of the abrasive with foreign particles such as metal scraps or small pieces of paper from the abrasive bags, as this can clog the mixing tube easily.

2. Properly store the abrasive in a dry area to prevent moisture. Moisture on the abrasive can affect the flow and cause "jet lag" since the abrasive may appear dry on the surface but still clump together due to humidity.

Best Practices for Storage:

- Store the abrasive in a dry area to prevent moisture. Moisture on the abrasive can affect the flow and cause "jet lag" since the abrasive may appear dry on the surface but still clump together due to humidity.

Quality Testing:

You can test the moisture content in the abrasive using a multimeter set to ohms. The ohmmeter should indicate the correct resistance for dry cutting abrasive. A lower resistance reading indicates moisture content, which can negatively impact cutting performance and lead to incorrect predictions of cut quality, taper, cut speed, and kerf.

Optimize Settings:

Ensure that the settings match the abrasive being used. Adjust the Abrasive Index and Abrasive Size settings based on the pump and nozzle configuration. Additionally, set the actual (measured) Abrasive Flow Rate correctly. Incorrect settings can lead to lower cutting efficiency and inappropriate cutting performance.
