Surface Finishing for Waterjet Cutting

Yicen Precision offers a variety of finishing services designed to meet your project’s specific needs.

Deburring

Removes sharp edges and burrs created during cutting to improve safety and provide a clean, finished look.

Bead Blasting

 Uses high-pressure blasting with fine media to create a smooth, matte surface. Ideal for achieving a uniform finish and removing minor imperfections.

Chemical Cleaning (Pickling)

Removes oxidation, scale, and surface contaminants to restore and prepare metal surfaces after cutting.

Brushing

 Applies a uniform, subtle texture using abrasive brushes for an attractive and tactile surface.

Polishing

Mechanically smooths surfaces to achieve a high-gloss, reflective finish—ideal for decorative or consumer-facing parts.

Tumbling

Smooths and rounds edges of small parts by vibrating them with abrasive media, improving finish and handling safety.

Powder Coating

Applies a durable, protective coating that improves corrosion resistance and allows for various color options. Perfect for functional and aesthetic applications.

Anodizing

 Adds a corrosion-resistant oxide layer to aluminum parts and enables a range of color options for both protection and aesthetics.

Cut Through Anything with Precision With Yicen Precision’s Expert Waterjet Cutting Services

When it comes to powerful, cold-cutting technology that can slice through almost any material without heat distortion, waterjet cutting takes the lead. It’s the ultimate solution for industries that require clean, accurate, and versatile cutting methods. At Yicen Precision, we specialize in high-quality waterjet cutting services tailored for a wide range of materials and applications.

What Makes Waterjet Cutting Unique?

Unlike laser or plasma cutting, waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water often mixed with an abrasive substance to cut through hard and soft materials alike. The process is entirely cold, which means it doesn’t generate heat zones that could warp or damage materials.

This makes waterjet cutting perfect for materials like stainless steel, glass, marble, rubber, plastics, and even food products. It’s especially ideal for applications where precision and material integrity are critical.
