Solving the Stress Concentration Problem in High-Pressure Waterjet Cutting of Crystallized Glass

To address this issue, it is important to first inspect the quality of the stone before performing waterjet cutting. At the same time, proper construction practices must be followed to prevent structural deformation under pressure, which can lead to the infiltration of corrosive gases and moisture into the joints. These steps help ensure the material’s stability after cutting.

Crystallized glass has been increasingly used as a decorative material, valued for its luxurious surface and its safe, eco-friendly characteristics. As a type of stone, it is naturally suitable for high-pressure waterjet cutting. However, in practical applications, it has been found that cutting crystallized glass with a high-pressure waterjet often leads to stress concentration issues.
