KMT Waterjet pumps for cutting titanium metal
Waterjet cutting titanium with KMT Waterjet ultrahigh-pressure pumps up to 90,000 psi/6.200bar offers several advantages over laser or plasma cutting.
KMT Waterjet cutting titanium without a heat affected zone (HAZ)
There are several advantages for job shops and industries waterjet cutting titanium with KMT Waterjet ultrahigh-pressure pumps up to 90,000 psi over laser or plasma cutting.
Waterjet cuts up to 8 inches of titanium with a smooth finish, and no burrs. 
The cold-cutting process of waterjet minimizes heat-affected zones HAZ, preserving material integrity without thermal distortion.
Here’s a breakdown of the benefits:
High Precision: Intricate designs can be waterjet cut maintaining tight tolerances without causing material distortion cutting titanium.
No Heat Affected Zone (HAZ): Waterjet cutting minimizes heat-affected zones around the cut, preserving titanium’s metallurgical properties sensitive to heat.
Versatility: Titanium can be waterjet cut from 3 inches to 15 inches, without needing multiple setups or tool changes.
No Material Contamination: Unlike laser and plasma CNC machines, waterjet cutting avoids heat or chemical reactions, ensuring waterjet cutting titanium remains free from oxidation or residual stress.
Reduced Machining Time: The ultra high-pressure capabilities of KMT 90,000 psi pumps enable faster cutting speeds, reducing machining times and increasing productivity.
ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES OF TITANIUM WATERJET CUTS
Laser and Plasma take longer especially considering the wait times to transfer the titanium to another machine for secondary finishing.
Cost-Effectiveness: With a minimal kerf, waterjet cutting reduces material waste and secondary finishing processes, leading to cost savings in production.
Environmental Friendliness: There are no hazardous fumes with waterjet cutting titanium, like a laser and plasma machine cause.
Overall, waterjet cutting with KMT pumps is superior for its precision accuracy, and cost-effectiveness, making it the ideal choice for industries requiring high-quality titanium components.
VERSATILITY
The KMT Waterjet OEM network offers a complete line of waterjet table machines including five-axis waterjet to robotic integrated six-axis motion control.
FASTER
Waterjet stripping is up to 10x faster than chemical removal processes, saving time and money. Utrahigh-pressure water removes coatings without damaging materials.
PRECISION
Waterjet cutting enables precise metal cutting for various aerospace components. No Heat Affected Zones (HAZ), cracking or material delamination.
HIGH REPEATABILITY
Waterjet hole drilling without stress on various metals (titanium, super alloys and more) can deliver a very accurate and tight mesh of holes.
