3" Thick Alloy Waterjet Cut Gears
A fun project that we recently finished, used abrasive waterjet cutting to process an extremely tough material. The goal here was to process the 3" thick 4340 alloy heat treated to a 40 rockwell. The 2-axis cutting job was a challenge, because the material was extremely hard when we received it, as it had been heat treated. However, we were still able to remove the sections of the gear that the customer needed removed by using waterjet cutting.
It's good to have difficult projects like this to keep our engineers sharp with their skills. The large alloy heat treated gears were the perfect project for Fedtech to do so. From this tough project, we learned there really isn't much that we can't cut with waterjet cutting!
