Diamond Technology Innovations’ tetraCORE waterjet orifice material offers very high toughness, resistance to erosion

Diamond Technology Innovations (dti™) offers a new orifice material for the waterjet cutting and cleaning industries.

tetraCORE™ is an extremely hard, tetrahedrally bonded material that demonstrates excellent toughness and resistance to impact and erosion for less downtime, reduced cost per hour, and fewer scrapped parts, the company states. On average, the material outlasts ruby and sapphire orifices by 10 to 15 times, according to the manufacturer.

The orifices are available in all standard sizes and mount styles for pure water and abrasive cutting applications, as well as surface preparation applications.
