Milling Using Abrasive Waterjets ...: Micro-channel
Dicing microelectronic wafers and machining piezoelectric materials without risk of electrical shorts between layers.
The erosion rate is not constant; it typically decreases as the channel gets deeper. Specialized models are used to predict the final topography for deep channels. MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...
It can machine virtually any material, including high-strength alloys (316L stainless steel), brittle ceramics (PZT), composites, and laminates. including high-strength alloys (316L stainless steel)
The small jet size allows for omnidirectional cutting and intricate patterns with radii as small as 0.1 mm. brittle ceramics (PZT)
