Garnet sand is a kind of high-grade natural abrasive with high hardness and good chemical properties. Its common shapes are rhombic dodecahedron and tetragonal octahedron. With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for product quality and their awareness of environmental protection, garnet sand has emerged as the times require and its application has shown a growing trend, mainly used in high-pressure water jet cutting, surface sandblasting, polishing and grinding, etc. Next, we will introduce the use of it in detail.
High pressure water jet cutting: the principle is mainly to spray water and garnet sand at a high speed through a very thin nozzle after multistage pressurization, and use the high hardness and sharp corners of garnet to cut. In the process of cutting, there is no thermal process to cut metal and non-metallic materials, especially some materials that cannot be processed by thermal cutting, such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper and other plasma cutting methods. Water jet cutting machine has many advantages. It features smooth cut, fast cutting speed, no thermal deformation, no pollution, etc. It also cuts a wide range of materials, such as titanium alloy, steel plate, copper plate, stone wood, paper, plastic, etc. It is also used in aerospace, military and other fine processing.
