ROCTEC™ Abrasive Waterjet Nozzles (Mixing Tubes)

ROCTEC™ composite carbide is a tungsten carbide-based material made by the patented Rapid Omnidirectional Compaction (ROC) process exclusive to Kennametal.

This process enables these advanced ceramic materials to be combined without using a soft metal binder and with very short consolidation cycles - minimizing the natural tendency of ceramic particles to enlarge when exposed to high heat for long periods.

Maintaining extra-fine grain size means better nozzle performance resulting in an extremely durable material that fiercely resists abrasive and erosive wear.

Superior Wear Resistance & Greater Accuracy

Superior wear resistance means a reduction in the number of mixing tubes purchased over time. Longer mixing tube life also results in a better jet pattern and increased velocity. This means faster average cutting speeds and significantly less downtime for nozzle replacement and system calibration.

This also translates to greater dimensional accuracy and the ability to perform longer, uninterrupted cuts. These enhancements ensure a more cost effective cutting process.
