Why garnet sand can be used for waterjet cutting,but brown fused alumina not?
Garnet sand, as an abrasive, is widely used in waterjet cutting technology. This technology uses high-speed water flow to carry garnet sand particles to cut the material to achieve precise processing.
Why garnet sand 80 can be used for waterjet cutting,but brown fused aluimina not? it is because of garnet sand’s specical chemical and physical properties:
1.Physical properties
Garnet is moderately hard and has sharp edges, which makes it effective in cutting a variety of materials when used as a cutting tool.
2.Economy
Compared with brown fused alumina, the cost of garnet is more economical, which can significantly reduce the cost of use in long-term use.
3.Durability
Although brown fused alumina has a higher hardness, in waterjet applications, garnet sand have a longer service life, which can reduce the frequency of replacement and further reduce operating costs.
Above all,garnet sand in waterjet cutting field,own the unique advantages which other abrasives can not replace.
