80 Mesh Garnet Sand for Waterjet Cutting

80 mesh garnet sand is a commonly used abrasive material in waterjet cutting due to its hardness, durability, and consistent particle size. It provides an optimal balance between cutting speed and precision, making it suitable for various materials, including metals, stone, glass, and composites.

Key Features

• Particle Size: ~177–210 microns (80 mesh)

• Hardness: 7.5–8.0 on the Mohs scale (highly effective for cutting)

• Density: ~4.0–4.2 g/cm³ (ensures efficient material removal)

• Shape: Sub-angular to angular (enhances cutting performance)

• Low Dust & Reusability: Minimal fines, can be recycled in some systems

Advantages in Waterjet Cutting

Faster Cutting Speed – Efficient material removal compared to finer abrasives.
Good Edge Quality – Smooth cuts with minimal striations.
Cost-Effective – Provides a balance between performance and price.
Environmentally Friendly – Non-toxic and chemically inert.

Typical Applications

• Metal Cutting (steel, aluminum, titanium)

• Stone & Tile Processing (granite, marble)

• Glass & Ceramics

• Aerospace & Automotive Components

• Rubber & Composite Materials
