Waterjet technology has always been considered an eco-friendly technology, but it is becoming even greener as more shops are investing in green accessories that provide environmental benefits and are also good for their profits.
Producing parts at the lowest possible cost is the goal of every waterjet shop. In order to realize this goal, a correctly sized waterjet pump is very important.
With time and money tighter than ever, waterjet shops across the globe are looking for ways to maximize the productivity and profitability of their waterjet systems without spending too much on capital investments.
Jeff Schibley of Jet Edge advises that before investing in a waterjet system, the waterjet manufacturer needs to perform a test cut. Using material supplied by the customer, most waterjet manufacturers provide free test cuts.
Traditionally, it has always been thought that the interactions between a 2-dimensional (2D) material and another solid substrate adhered through conventional solid-solid interactions.
When evaluating resistance to scratch and mar, the objective is to make certain the product maintains a minimum visual appearance over its estimated life. Regardless of whether the coating is for cosmetic appeal or functional performance, surface damage detracts from the products value.
In the world of materials sciences, metal fatigue describes the weakening of a material that occurs as a result of being exposed to repeated applied work or stress loads.
