Knitted grafts are of two basic types and are constructed with a set of yarns that are interlooped rather than interlaced.... Unlike woven grafts, they do not run, unravel, or fray at their cut edges. Even though the walls of knitted grafts are thicker than woven... they are more porous because of their construction and as a result readily permit cellular ingrowth through their interstices.

Record 6 2001-08-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cutting and Trimming (Machine-Tooling)
CONT

A new process, "abrasive waterjet cutting", was created by the introduction of abrasive particles into the waterjet, greatly increasing capabilities. The addition of abrasives to the waterjet stream expands cutting capability to almost any material known to man and makes it one of the most versatile tools in use today.... Abrasive waterjet is rapidly finding use in cutting hard, dense material such as glass, composites, metals, and fired ceramics. These materials are difficult to cut by older, conventional processes because they tend to fray, crack, splinter, shatter, or show heat effects.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Découpage et taillage (Usinage)
CONT

Procédé de découpe au jet abrasif. La technique de la découpe au jet d'eau haute pression forme la base de la découpe au jet abrasif. L'eau sous pression est chargée de particules abrasives extrêmement fines (grenat, corindon et olivine par ex.). [...] À l'aide d'une buse canon en métal très dur, le jet d'eau additionné d'abrasif est focalisé sur la matière. Cette technique renforce l'énergie du jet et permet de séparer et de percer des matériaux très durs de différentes épaisseurs et résistances.
