Our waterjet cutting services handle an exceptionally broad spectrum of materials for industrial applications, ranging from dense alloys to delicate composites. Because we utilize a cold-cutting process—supersonic water mixed with abrasive garnet—we can section these materials without creating a heat-affected zone (HAZ), preserving the original grain structure, hardness, and corrosion resistance.
Key materials we process include:
- Metals and High-Strength Alloys: We routinely cut stainless steel (grades 304 and 316), aluminum alloys (5083 and 6061), titanium, mild steel, and abrasion-resistant plates like AR400. Our facility can handle steel plate up to a substantial thickness, and our mobile units can section heavy-wall carbon steel and duplex piping on-site.
- Composites and Layered Structures: We provide clean cuts for fiberglass-reinforced plastics, carbon-fiber laminates, Kevlar, and multi-layer metal-rubber bonded sheets. The process prevents delamination, fraying, or separation of bonded layers.
- Non-Metallic and Specialty Materials: Our technology accurately processes ceramic tiles, alumina wear liners, furnace brick, glass panels, and engineered stone (quartz or granite).
- Industrial Plastics and Rubber: We cut acetal, nylon, PTFE, rubber gaskets, and heavy-duty conveyor belting without the melting or charring associated with thermal methods.
Whether you require precision fabrication in Nisku or mobile waterjet cutting for pipeline maintenance across Western Canada, we provide the versatility to handle diverse industrial needs. Find your effective solution here by contacting us for a custom quote on your specific material requirements.
