The mechanical erosion process leaves a clean surface without the recast layers often found in wire EDM or laser cutting. Key Technical Insights

Dicing microelectronic wafers and machining piezoelectric materials without risk of electrical shorts between layers. MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...

The erosion rate is not constant; it typically decreases as the channel gets deeper. Specialized models are used to predict the final topography for deep channels. The mechanical erosion process leaves a clean surface

It can machine virtually any material, including high-strength alloys (316L stainless steel), brittle ceramics (PZT), composites, and laminates. including high-strength alloys (316L stainless steel)

Milling can be done with the workpiece submerged in water to reduce noise and contain debris. Submerged machining often results in narrower channels due to the surrounding fluid affecting the jet's expansion.
