ABSTRACT:
A fluid jet system for achieving a kerf width less than 0.015 inches is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes an orifice mount having a high-pressure fluid bore and an abrasive bore configured to communicate an abrasive mixture in form of a paste or foam to at least a portion of the high-pressure fluid bore. The system further includes a pressure-generating bore and a thin kerf mixing tube respectively provided toward opposing longitudinal ends of the mount body, minimizing a distance therebetween. A method of in-situ recycling of abrasives in the high-pressure fluid jet system includes catching the exiting abrasive-fluid mixture in a catching device, filtering the mixture in a filtering device, and directly pumping the filtered abrasive-fluid mixture to the mixing area without requiring conditioning of the mixture to remove liquids.
