TWO-PHASE ABRASIVE CUTTING DEVICE

摘要

A two-phase, fluid abrasive cutting device having a cutting element comprising a cooled pressurised fluid jet with solid abrasive particles entrained therein, wherein the abrasive particles are formed from a material which is fluid at normal ambient conditions but which is solid at the conditions within the fluid jet. Such a cutting device may be used to cut explosive materials as it is not explosive sensitising.
