Case studies

Three representative jobs. Drawings and quantities vary — these show the kind of work we handle.

1 · Titanium alloy aerospace bracket (Gr.5 / Ti-6Al-4V)

MaterialTitanium alloy, 12 mm thick
Process5-axis waterjet, cold cut — no HAZ, no alpha-case layer
Tolerance±0.10 mm on profile; beveled mounting holes cut in the same setup
Why waterjetLaser/EDM would harden or ignite titanium; waterjet keeps the edge metallurgically unchanged

2 · 100 mm thick carbon-steel plate

MaterialCarbon steel, 100 mm thick
Process3-axis abrasive waterjet, multi-pass
ResultClean through-cut with minimal taper on a plate that plasma would warp
Why waterjetNo thermal distortion on thick stock; edge ready for welding after light dressing

3 · Combined process — cut + bevel + tap

MaterialStainless steel, 8 mm
Process5-axis waterjet profile + weld-prep bevel, then tapping at partner shop
BenefitOne source for the cut and bevel; secondary ops quoted separately and transparently
NoteDrilling/tapping/bending are not waterjet — we advise or outsource and state it on the quote
These are illustrative of our work. For your specific part, send the drawing — we quote on the actual geometry, not a generic rate.
