The water jet process does not generate any heat, this is an important advantage for the machining of advanced metal alloys. The material properties of these are often a result of a material structure in combination with heat treatment. Micro abrasive water jet does not use any heat for its material removal and will not change the material properties. That is why the process is suitable for cutting of sensitive alloys like Nitinol, aerospace grade Titanium, magnesium alloys and nickel-based alloys.
