1. What is tungsten carbide abrasive waterjet nozzle ?
Waterjet cutting is with the advantages of precise processing, no dust, low cost, high efficiency, and non-destructive processing,it has become an important processing technology and is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automobiles, machinery manufacturing, and electronic products.Water jet cutting Nozzles are also called mixing tubes or focusing tubes,they are mainly installed in water jet cutting machines as replacement spare wear parts.
2. Property of Tungsten Carbide Mixing Tube Nozzles.
Due to the special harsh working conditions with high compressing,tungsten carbide mixing tube nozzles are with high hardness and strength,the hardness of OST12 quality grade could be HRA96.5-HRA97.0 with density over 15.6g/cm³ from OSTON CARBIDE,which is far higher than normal cobalt binder tungsten carbide material.
| Grade | Hardness(HRA) | Hardness(HV) | density(g/cm3) | T.R.S(n/m㎡) |
| OST12 | ≥96.5 | ≥2680 | ≥15.66 | ≥1900 |
| OST13 | ≥91.8 | ≥1600 | ≥14.50 | ≥4000 |
| OST10 | ≥94.3 | ≥1960 | ≥14.85 | ≥3400 |
| OST16 | ≥91.0 |
≥1680 |
≥14.2 |
≥3800 |

4.Advantages of water jet cutting.
(1).Precise machining: water jet cutting can accurately control the machining accuracy, and can even achieve micron-level precision machining.
(2).Dust-free processing: no harmful dust is produced during the processing of the waterjet cutting.
(3).Low-cost processing: processing cost of waterjet is lower than other processing technologies.
(4).Efficient processing:processing speed of waterjet cutting is faster than other processing technologies,which can effectively improve processing efficiency.
(5).Non-destructive processing:processing of waterjet will not damage the material, so as to protect the performance and structure of the material.
