Waterjet Cutting Speed Comparison for Various Materials

Waterjet cutting speed depends on material properties (hardness, toughness), thickness, machine settings (pressure, flow rate, nozzle type), and cutting conditions (water quality, nozzle wear). Metals generally cut slower than with other tools but offer higher accuracy. Thin metals like aluminum, copper, or brass cut faster, while thick steel or aluminum reduces speed. For non-metals like stone or ceramics, speed depends on hardness and texture; harder or more brittle materials cut slower. Optimizing parameters based on material and task ensures the best results. Below is a reference chart based on our experience; actual speeds may vary.
