Micro-channel Milling Using Abrasive Waterjets ... Review

The small jet size allows for omnidirectional cutting and intricate patterns with radii as small as 0.1 mm.

Unlike lasers, AWJ is a non-thermal process. It eliminates heat-affected zones (HAZ), preventing thermal distortion or changes in the material's properties. MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...

The mechanical erosion process leaves a clean surface without the recast layers often found in wire EDM or laser cutting. Key Technical Insights The small jet size allows for omnidirectional cutting
