Abrasive Water Jet Cutting of the Steels Samples Cooled by Liquid Nitrogen

The paper is aimed at abrasive water jetting of non-corroding steels treated by cryogenic temperatures in liquid nitrogen. The investigation of cut walls shows that cryogenic temperatures influence material structure and respective properties. This research is focused on improvement of material reliability in various states of production systems and operation conditions.
