Water Jet Cut Stainless Steel Component for the Aerospace Industry

Specializing in the manufacturing of precision parts through our advanced CNC water jet cutting technology, Aqua Power Cutting, Inc. was contracted by an aerospace industry client to produce a replacement aircraft component. Constructed from five inch thick stainless steel, this part needed to withstand high altitude, high pressure operating conditions. Using our advanced flow water jet machinery, which possesses a 60,000 PSI cutting pressure, we created the rough cut outline of this part before employing other traditional machining operations, such as milling, to finish the unit.

Meeting (±) 0.07 of an inch precision tolerance, this part was constructed to measure 36 inches in length and 19 inches in height. It also weighed approximately 250 pounds. This aircraft component took approximately 9 hours of cutting time, saving our client many production hours over more traditional cutting methods.

In addition, Aqua Power Cutting also took a standard micrometer measurement of the component, ensuring that this aircraft part met our client's exact specifications, before we shipped the product to our customer's facility in San Antonio, Texas. Meeting MIL-STD quality standards, Aqua Power Cutting employed its precision water jet cutting services to construct a replacement part for the aerospace industry, saving our client considerable
