...article ] Cuts material by the impingement of a high velocity water jet against the workpiece. Relatively small volumes of water are used at high pressures, which are produced by a pump and intensifier with an accumulator tank to smooth out the pressure pulses.

...article ] Cuts materials by means of a high pressure fluid jet (usually water, although other fluids or air alone can be used) containing abrasive particles. The abrasive material can be introduced dry or (more usually) in the form of a slurry, striking the workpiece at a velocity approaching that of sound, chipping away small particles. An abrasive jet cutting system...

...article ] A metal tool is given a high frequency, low amplitude oscillation perpendicular to the workpiece, which transmits a high velocity to fine abrasive particles present between the tool and workpiece. These particles strike the workpiece, chipping away small particles, and the tool is gradually fed into the workpiece. The “chips” are carried away from the...

...article)] Material is induction-melted in a protective atmosphere of argon. It is poured into a tundish/crucible. A stream of molten metal at the base of the tundish is atomised by a mixture of argon and nitrogen gas into a stream of particulate material. This is deposited on a mandrel former or into a shaped mould. The preform is subsequently hot worked to final shape....
