At High-Performance Alloys, Inc., we offer water jet cutting services to supply you with material in the exact form and size that you need. Water jet cutting provides some important advantages for processing wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature materials, and our facility houses 2-axis and 3-axis equipment that allows us to cut materials with unsurpassed accuracy, speed, and flexibility. Operating at pressures from 2,000 to 60,000 psi, our water jet cutters slice through metals ranging from 0.025" to 4" in thickness. We have the capacity to process materials measuring as large as 13' in length x 6.5' in width and up to 20' in diameter. Depending on your requirements, you can specify edge quality up to 5 and tolerances anywhere in the ± 0.005" to 0.125" range.

Water jet cutting is advantageous in that it causes no thermal distortion or hardening and it imparts minimal stress on the workpiece. We can cut smooth edges with an excellent appearance, and tight part nesting enables us to maximize material utilization. With water jet cutting, we produce 2D and 3D shapes that need minimal or no secondary processing. Along with Hastelloy®, Inconel®, Monel®, and Nitronic®, we specialize in water jet cutting cobalt-based alloys such as Stellite®, as well as commercially pure nickel grades and nickel alloys. We keep ample stock of these materials in inventory and process orders accurately and quickly. Our specialty lies in fulfilling prototype to low volume orders, and for your convenience, we offer blanket order release programs and custom stocking programs with just-in-time delivery. We also have the production capacity to handle emergency and rush orders for time sensitive projects.

As an ISO 9001:2008 manufacturer and distributor of super alloys, we supply water jet cut materials that meet the most demanding quality and performance requirements. To learn more about our water jet cutting capabilities, contact us directly.
