Three Reasons About Garnet Sand As Water Cutting Sand

After years of development, water cutting gradually takes the place of laser cutting in the field of cutting and flame cutting with its excellent cutting performance. The vigorous development of water processing industries also brings the prosperity of related industries. The abrasive industry is one of them. Currently, the abrasives used in water cutting is garnet sand, but there are a lot of natural abrasive and artificial abrasive in abrasive industry. So what's the advantages of garnet sand as water cutting sand?

Firstly, natural abrasive has rich mineral resources and its price is relatively low.

As abrasive materials, rich resource is one of essential factors. Garnet sand has rich mineral resource compared with other abrasives. For example, the garnet mine in Jiangsu province, has proven the output reaching 250 million tons. Therefore, its price will not be as high as artificial abrasives.

Secondly, appropriate hardness will have less harm for sand pipe.

Garnet sand is a kind of natural nonmetallic abrasive hardness that is second only to diamond and corundum. And its four corners trioctahedron structure makes it have sharp angle, and its cutting ability is stronger. From the hardness, it is bigger than quartz sand, so it can guarantee the cutting speed; But it is smaller than brown fused alumina and diamond, so that the damage for sand tube is relatively lower. 

C, It has polyhedron structure and the cutting effect is good.

This is the most important about cutting effect. Using garnet sand as water cutting sand, not only increases the range of water cutting, and has ideal effect after cutting. This is all because of its structure, which makes the cutting force stronger.

Above are three reasons about garnet sand as water cutting abrasive. In general, its cost performance is the highest. But the product quality of domestic garnet sand market is uneven, so you must choose standard manufacturers when buying.
