Definitions
- the present invention relates to cutting heads that generate abrasive waterjets using abrasive particles carried to a cutting head in a gas, or in a vapour or in a liquid.
- Prior art abrasive waterjet cutting heads discharge ultra high-pressure water at 4000 bar (400 MPa) or so through an orifice to form a waterjet travelling at over twice the speed of sound in air.
- a waterjet is projected 40 to 80 waterjet jet diameters across a chamber to enter a focus tube bore.
- Abrasive particles suspended in air are induced into a chamber by a waterjet dragging air with abrasive particles into a focus tube entryway and bore. Momentum is transferred from a waterjet to abrasive particles in a focus tube to produce a cutting jet at a tube outlet.
- Transient events during closing of a shut off valve to stop a high velocity waterjet cause a momentary reversal of water/air flow in a waterjet orifice that can carry abrasive particles through an orifice.
- On restating water flow such particles pass through an orifice at high speed and can erode an orifice and a particle impacting on an orifice edge can cause an orifice to fail.
- Catastrophic edge damage also occurs from particles reaching an orifice in pressurised water. What is particularly troublesome is that failures are unpredictable and cause serious financial and production losses.
- a waterjet orifice is located in the front face of a substantial earner that can withstand ultra high water pressures. Water pressure acts to force an orifice onto a carrier and seal an orifice to a carrier. The number of abrasive particles reaching the vicinity of a waterjet orifice can be greatly reduced by projecting a waterjet for ten or so jet diameters along a narrow passageway in a carrier before a jet enters a chamber.
- the risk of abrasive particles damaging a waterjet orifice is minimised by turning off an abrasive flow to a cutting head some time before stopping a waterjet so as to clear abrasive from a cutting head. Because of re-circulation of air and abrasive within a cutting head chamber a significant time delay is needed to clear abrasive from a cutting head. This time delay, combined with a time delay to establishing abrasive flow after a waterjet is turned on, prevents prior art abrasive waterjets being used for machining operations that requires a cutting jet to be turned on and off rapidly and this excludes their use for many applications.
- US Patent Application 2005/0017091 describes an AWJ cutting head in which air is drawn from atmosphere to the passageway downstream of an orifice in order to avoid air carrying abrasive particles reaching a waterjet orifice. Although providing such airflow can prevent abrasive particles reaching and damaging an orifice and its holder it complicates the design of a cutting head and adversely affects the amount of air available to carry abrasive particles to a cutting head.
- UK Patent Application No GB2422566A describes a method of generating abrasive waterjets that uses steam as a carrier fluid to transport abrasive particles to a cutting head for the steam to be condensed in a focus tube. Condensing steam, prior to a focus tube inlet, may need to be minimised in such cutting heads and this requires a focus tube inlet to be within 20 or so waterjet diameters of a waterjet generating means. Abrasive suspended in steam flows over the outlet face of a waterjet generating means.
- abrasive particles are in direct contact with a waterjet generating means particles are carried upstream of the waterjet generating means during flow transients on stopping water flow and when steam carrying abrasive particles flows to a cutting head when there is no water flow through a waterjet generating means.
- a cutting head using abrasive/water mixtures has a waterjet generating means that is able to pass abrasive suspensions without undue wear.
- the abrasive for these cutting heads is statically suspended in water so cannot be easily cleared from the vicinity of a waterjet generating means before stopping of a water flow. Instead the continuing presence of abrasive is beneficial because a cutting jet can be started and stopped multiple times per second to carry out dynamic machining operations.
- controlled penetration of abrasive into a waterjet generating means can be an advantage in that cutting begins instantaneously on re-starting water flow avoiding distortion, cracking and de-lamination of thin and fragile workpiece materials.
- An AWJ cutting head projects a waterjet a distance of 40 to 80 waterjet diameters across a chamber to drag air at sub-atmospheric pressure towards a focus tube inlet.
- In order to drag sufficient air into a focus tube substantially more air is caused to flow towards a focus tube than enters a focus tube.
- Excess air moving towards a focus tube re-circulates energetically in a chamber carrying with it abrasive particles that erode chamber walls and waterjet orifice holders.
- Re-circulating air may contain particles that have become wetted by water droplets. Because of particle wetting, abrasive particles may attach to the passage walls within an orifice and its holder and be displaced through an orifice when water/airflow reverses on turning off water flow.
- the cutting performance of AWJ cutting heads can be improved and chamber and focus tube wear reduced if air, dragging abrasive particles along with it, enters a focus tube driven by a controllable pressure difference.
- a static pressure of one bar or so above atmospheric pressure causes air to accelerate to sonic velocity at the start of a focus tube bore.
- Efficient acceleration of air and abrasive particles into a focus tube requires the distance between the outlet of a waterjet generating means and a focus tube inlet to be the minimum necessary for abrasive particles to flow smoothly into a focus tube inlet.- This results in abrasive particles flowing over the outlet of a waterjet generating means, and penetrating upstream of the waterjet generating means when water flow is stopped.
- Diamond has a substantially longer life than other superhard materials when used for a waterjet generating means.
- a prior art waterjet orifice made of diamond may be set in sintered metal within a carrier. Bonding between sintered metal and diamond is poor and sintered metal is relatively weak in tension so the retention and sealing of a piece of diamond relies on the support provided to the sintered metal by a carrier

- the diameter of the inlet in said superhard material is ideally the same as the mating passage in the said carrier, such that the maximum fluid loading to which a nozzle-to- can ⁇ er joint is subjected is due to fluid pressure acting on a nozzle bore inlet area, should a nozzle bore become blocked.

- a thin section of material having a compatible thermal expansion to a nozzle material may be soldered or brazed to a carrier using a higher melting temperature solder or braze than that used to solder or braze a nozzle to the material.
- a cutting head with a body into which an exchangeable waterjet nozzle assembly and a focus tube are assembled to configure a cutting head to operate with abrasive particles carried in a gas, or in a vapour or in a vapour/gas mixture, or in a liquid. If abrasive particles flow to a cutting head as a suspension in a pressurised liquid the cutting head body, the insert and the focus tube can be removed to allow the nozzle assembly to act as a cutting head.
- Figures Ia to Ie show nozzle assemblies; Figures 2 and 3 show entrainment cutting heads; Figure 4 shows a spacer;
- Figure 5 shows an abrasive suspension cutting head
- Figures 6 and 7 show entrainment cutting heads
- Figure 8 shows a prior art cutting head.
- a waterjet orifice 101 is located and sealed in the front face of a substantial carrier 102 that is located within a cutting head body 103.
- a seat 104 on the carrier 102 mates and forms a metal to metal seal with a tube 105 feeding ultra high pressure water to orifice 101. Water flowing through the orifice contracts to form a jet 110.
- the waterjet 110 passes through a central passageway 106 in carrier 102 before traversing a chamber 107 and entering a bore 109 of a focus tube 108.
- the drag caused by waterjet 110 passing through chamber 107 causes air dragging abrasive particles with it to enter through passageway 111 and to be accelerated towards and enter the focus tube 108.
- the quantity of air moving towards focus tube inlet 112 is greater than that that can enter bore 109 and the excess air re-circulates within chamber 107, carrying abrasive particles, in an unstable manner with strong swirl components, hi the focus tube bore 109 momentum is transferred from the waterjet to abrasive particles to produce a cutting jet 113.
- Orifice 101 is made of sapphire, ruby or diamond. Sapphire, ruby and diamond are extremely hard but also brittle, so an orifice's edge can be damaged by particles moving at high velocity. Locating orifice 101 such that a waterjet 110 passes through a narrow passage 106 substantially reduces the risk of abrasive particles reaching the vicinity of an orifice and travelling upstream of an orifice during transient events when water flow is stopped.
- An advantageous feature of prior art is the location of the waterjet generating means 101 on the front face of a carrier 102 so that water pressure acts to hold and seal the means to the carrier.
- a further advantageous feature of prior art cutting heads is the size of piece of diamond need only be sufficient to carry water pressure compression loads so that it is economic to use high quality natural or synthetic diamond.
- a loading of 400Mpa is ten or so times the tensile strength of joining methods for diamond to metal or other superhard materials. Taking account of the extreme fatigue loads from cyclic water pressures a joint area twenty or so times the nozzle area subjected to water pressure is desirable.
- the joint material must form water impervious seal between a carrier and a nozzle.
- superhard materials are here defined as materials having a hardness of 9 or higher on the Mohs scale.
- a waterjet nozzle 1 has a carrier 2 with an inlet 3 to passage 4 that contracts to a shaped bore 7 in a piece of diamond material in the form of a blank that forms a nozzle 5.
- the nozzle 5 is joined and sealed to carrier 2 by a joint 6.
- the outlet diameter of the flow passage 4 in the carrier 2 will usually be chosen to be the smallest practical consistent with water velocities being below the erosion velocity of the material of the carrier 2 and the need to carrying out drilling and polishing operations to form the nozzle bore 7.
- the joint 6 between a diamond blank 5 and a nozzle earner 2 is effected using a solder or braze alloy that is doped with active elements.
- a solder is a tin (Sn)-silver (Ag) alloy with active elements titanium (Ti), gallium (Ga) and cerium (Ce).
- An example of active braze is a silver (Ag)-copper (Cu) alloy with titanium (Ti) and other active elements. The active elements react with oxide layers and surfaces to allow wetting.
- a good joint has extensive chemical bonding between solder or braze material, diamond and carrier material, with minimal formation of undesirable interfacial compounds and brittle and other joint weakening layers.
- solders are generally defined as having melting points below about 450 0 C, it can be advantageous to carry out part of a soldering cycle at higher temperatures.
- temperatures up to 85O 0 C or so may be used to bring about wetting, before reducing the temperature to form a joint that has lower residual thermally induced stresses than that generated by a brazed joint (brazing of superhard materials generally involves solidus temperatures above 700 0 C).
- the carrier 2 can be fully machined before the nozzle 5 blank is attached, with the joint face on a carrier having a machined surface texture to maximise joint strength.
- Brazing of batches of nozzles is normally carried out in a vacuum or inert gas furnace.
- a solder or braze preform cut from foil is positioned between a holder 2 and diamond blank 5.
- a soldering or brazing temperature/time cycle is used that ensures good joint properties and minimises residual stresses in the brittle diamond.
- Brazing provides stronger joints and is preferred for joining diamond that is thermally stable at brazing temperatures above 800°. Ultrasonic or other vibration means may be used to help in achieving a satisfactory joint.
- Solder and braze materials have poor capillary and wetting characteristics on diamond and wetting is time dependent.
- the poor wetting characteristic may be used as an indicator of successful joint formation.
- the central hole in a solder or braze resist is machined marginally larger than the outlet of passage 4. After a solder or braze cycle the successful flow of joint material to form the critical seal between a joint 6 and carrier passage bore 4 can be observed.
- the blanks may be pre-coated with a titanium-based or other coating that forms a reacted chemical bond with the blank and is wetted during soldering or brazing.
- a blank may be pre-coated by a chemical vapour deposition process with tungsten carbide or other suitable material that aids in the formation of a joint to a carrier.
- diamond or other superhard material blanks For generating waterjets up to 400 ⁇ m or so in diameter, and abrasive suspension waterjets under about 200 ⁇ m or so in diameter, diamond or other superhard material blanks of 1 to 3mm in thickness and 3 to 6mm in diameter are appropriate.
- a bore 7 for a nozzle that passes a suspension of abrasive in pressurised water will typically have a simple rounded or conical inlet, with a length equivalent to four or so bore diameters, followed by a near constant diameter bore ten to twenty diameters
- Friction losses in each diameter of bore in the approach to a waterjet nozzle outlet are 2% or so of the waterpower at a cutting head inlet.
- the aim is to balance the friction energy losses in a nozzle against creating waterjet characteristics that are effective in entraining abrasive particles into a focus tube and transferring kinetic energy from the waterjet to the particles in a focus tube bore.
- the distance between a nozzle outlet and a focus tube may only be a few waterjet diameters, making it desirable to maximise the entrainment capability of a jet on exit from a nozzle. This is achieved using a conical contraction of 15° or so, followed by a parallel section of two or so diameters before a waterjet nozzle outlet. This geometry generates a jet with a turbulent surface due to cavitation and friction.
- a waterjet may travel ten or more jet diameters before entering a focus tube.
- the near parallel outlet length of a nozzle needs to be just sufficient for the nozzle outlet to withstand water pressure loads and particle impacts.
- Figures Ib, Ic, Id and Ie show alternative carrier and nozzle arrangements.
- Figure Ib shows a nozzle 80 made from diamond formed as an integral layer 81 on a tungsten carbide or other substrate 82 that is brazed 6 onto carrier/holder 2.
- Figure Ic shows a nozzle consisting of a piece of diamond 83, such, as PCD, encased in tungsten carbide 84, which is brazed to carrier 2 via both the diamond 83 and the tungsten carbide 84.
- the exterior 88 of the tungsten carbide case 84 can be machined to extreme tolerances as can nozzle holder diameter 8, allowing the bore 4 in the holder 2 and the bore 7 in the diamond 83 to be pre-drilled and accurately mated during brazing.
- the tungsten carbide case 84 may be grown or deposited on to the diamond 83.
- a hard metal may in some cases be used instead of tungsten carbide or similar superhard materials.
- Figure Id shows a nozzle arrangement that is particularly appropriate for miniature cutting heads in which it is difficult to provide an adequate flow passage for abrasive in water mixtures to reach a nozzle outlet.
- a piece of diamond 86 is brazed on its inlet face to provide a water seal with the majority of fluid loads carried by brazed joint 87 on the sides of the diamond.
- the diamond may be of rectangular or other cross-section.
- Figure Ie shows a nozzle formed by the deposition or growth of a CVD diamond or other superhard material layer 90 in a bore 7 within a body 91 that is joined and sealed to carrier 2 by joint 6.
- the layer of superhard material 90 may extend over the outlet face of the body 91 to protect the carrier 2 from erosion by abrasive particles.
- the joint 6 may be made to the superhard material 90 as well as to the body 91.
- a thick film may be grown on a former having a desired shape of bore 7, the former etched away, and a metal or superhard material case deposited or grown on the outside of the thick film to form the body 91.
- PCD and other diamond or superhard material blanks used for nozzles 5, 80 and 83 may be cut from sheet material with an external shape that includes features that form part of passageways for abrasive in a carrier fluid to flow and be entrained into a waterjet leaving bore 7.
- tungsten carbide is used as the superhard material

- Abrasive particles in a carrier fluid 26 flow through connection 27 to a passage 18 in cutting head body 10 into chamber 29 and on into inlet 20 of focus tube 16.
- kinetic energy is transferred from the water jet 9 to abrasive particles to give a cutting jet 25 at the focus tube 16 outlet.
- the longitudinal alignment of bore 7 in nozzle waterjet nozzle 1 and bore 24 in focus tube 16 is achieved by their bore axis being concentric with their diameters and their outside diameters being a close tolerance in the bore 14 of body 10.

- the interface between passageways 53 and 56 is such that abrasive particles cannot accumulate in dead spaces.
- the diameter of the diamond blank used for nozzle 5 can be chosen to protect holder 52 from abrasive when abrasive waterjet 58 is reflected from a workpiece.
- Figure 6 shows an entrainment cutting head with a nozzle assembly 59 as shown in Figure 5 and a spacer 61 suitable for use when the abrasive particle carrier fluid is air.
- Diameter 57 on nozzle carrier 52 is concentric with the bore of nozzle 5 and locates within bore 65 of cutting head body 60 into which spacer 61 and focus tube 16 fit.
- Spacer 61 has passage 62 that is aligned with passage 66 in body 60. Passage 66 is connected to a source 26 of abrasive particles suspended in a carrier fluid.
- passages 67 in body 60 connected to passage 66 may be used to bleed off carrier fluid flow 26 when the carrier fluid flow required into focus tube 16 is insufficient to transport abrasive particles from a source to passage 66.
- Passage 66 may be shaped to increase particle momentum past passage 67 and thereby minimise abrasive particles entering passages 67. Bleeding off carrier fluid through passage 67 is particularly advantageous for generating cutting jets less than 500 ⁇ m in diameter when the carrier fluid is air.
- FIG. 7 shows an arrangement that is particularly suited to achieving good alignment of nozzle and focus tube bores.
- a focus tube 35 is located in carrier 74 with an extended section 75 that is a close fit on the outside diameter 77 of nozzle carrier 1. By referencing the location of the nozzle bore to outside diameter 77 and focus tube bore to the inner bore of the extended section 75 alignment to better than 5 ⁇ m can be achieved.
- the nozzle carrier 1 is retained by body 72 that is attached to a collar 70 by thread 71.
- Collar 70 is attached to collimation tube 12 by thread 73.
- Thread 71 joining body 72 and collar 70 may be replaced by a quick release interrupted thread or other quick release mechanism so that by unscrewing collar 70 slightly, to release loading between nozzle carrier 1 and collimation tube 12, the body 72 can be rotated a part turn and released.
- Focus tube 35 may be retained in focus tube carrier 74 by a shrink fit, adhesive, brazing or other joining and sealing means.
- Seal 76 seals the focus tube carrier 72 to the body 72.
- Location screw 78 holds a focus tube carrier 74 so that the passage 79 in focus tube carrier is aligned with passage 80.
- Passage 80 in body 72 connected to a source 26 of abrasive particles in a carrier fluid. The fluid dynamic operation of this cutting head is generally as described with reference to Figure 2.
