also vanadium/niobium/titanium carbide, or MC type carbides in general the MC means metal/carbon in other words one metal atom bonded with one carbon atom. only certain metals form these carbides like chromium carbide is Cr(7)C(3) and is softer than sapphire(aluminum oxide)
Cheers for another interesting vid. There are actually several materials harder than diamond, some theoretical and at least two actual! Carmeltazite is one that exists, and a form of boron nitride (wurtzite) is one that is hypothesized!
Given that those tiny garnet particles are moving at [whatever speed y'all figured out], is it possible that when cutting harder materials it's like hitting it with a tiny hammer, and it's chipping it away? I'm sure Cody could figure it out, perhaps by throwing that cut piece under a microscope and seeing if it looks like tiny fractures or tiny scratches.
Tungsten carbide is also a 9.5 on the Mohs scale. It is a very hard dense material that can be used in a lot of different applications such as rings and plates
The CBN (cubic Boron nitride) is the second hardest material on earth right after diamond. I know it exists as a crystal but it's super expensive and not very big crystal
I use it on my grinder here in my workshop. It is indeed tough! Used the heck out of it and it is still going. No steel is comparable. Nothing I have found. Even Tungsten cuts on it.

According to Wikipedia Moissanite is harder than Sapphire and not as hard as diamond, but we will never know for sure until a sample of Moissanite receives a proper lick test

ok but apart from the joke, Bedrock is normal rock you can find anywhere on the surface of the Earth. And with that, its hardness changes everywhere. Obsidian would be a 5-6 on the mohs scale, Bedrock can be harder or softer than that.
@@Sharpless2 Correct. Bedrock simply refers to the topmost layer of rock beneath some loose material, generally called regolith, that may be more accurately described as soil, sand, silt or gravel. As such, and as you said, it varies everywhere on Earth. Some bedrock may be limestones, some may be basaltic or granitic, etc
@@lokpire0 correct. But its just cringey to see when minecraft players think that Obsidian really is some magic extremely hard material... Its natural volcanic glass and is around the same hardness as normal glass.
there is a drain at the side that goes into the sewer system probably. Most of the abrasive and cut material becomes that sand they have to clear out, so the water draining is usually not as dirty.
From what i was able to find online (this is 100% possibly wrong i didnt research very much) the abrasive is able to cut through a material harder than it because upon impact it releases an immense amount of heat, which softens the material it hits and allows for cutting since the abrasive will be replaced by cooler abrasive which is maintaining its hardness while the sapphire stays hot enough to be softer. Hopefully im not misinforming everyone.
There are a bunch of materials harder than that, like tungsten carbide, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitrate etc. Would be interesting to try and cut that stuff, you'd just have to find some old cutting inserts for lathes or mills.
Great video! You guys actually do have a setting for sapphire in the control program, because sapphire (blue corundum) is actually aluminum oxide. It looked like there was an Alum Oxide setting, so you could use that!
Yall should make some sort of cone or protective plate for the nozzle to possibly prevent breakage which could also save you guys money on replacement nozzles
Thank you for mentioning the hard drive video ! I laughed my ass off when i saw it the first time, and then i forgot which video it was :D In fact i watched this video while searching for the other one :D Not often does one get so lucky
You guys should get some cubic boron nitride (cbn). As far as I know, it's the hardest material after diamond, that's commercially available at least. You can get it from basically any manufacturer of cutting tools, e.g. Sandvik Coromant
I've just watched 4 of your vids guys. You crack me up. I love these kind of crazy vids, so liked and subbed. Now I'm going to check out waterjet prices 😀
Suggestion: put a whole lot of shirts together, and then put a hole in them with the waterjet and then sell those shirts. I can't be the only person who would buy that, right?
5:00 is it warm and clay melty because of the friction between the abrasion media and the material being cut or because the water being compressed to almost 60000 psi?
Wouldnt it be pretty close to diamond? Correct me if I'm wrong but is a sapphire just a diamond with small impurities that change the color? I know there are different colored diamonds. Or are sapphires, rubies, emeralds different materials all togethers
Tungsten carbide would be about a 9 on the mohs scale but it should be "easy" to find a large chunk of it since it is used commonly in mining, farming and other industrial applications
I want to see jade cut on the water jet. Hardness only refers to the materials resistant to scratching. If you hit a diamond with a hammer it will shatter into little pieces - there's a contest in Wyoming every year to see if anyone can break a jade boulder with a sledge hammer and nobody has ever broken it. Jade fibers are interwoven and in effect lock together making it very tough.
Egyptians back in the day ((way back in the day)) used copper tool to widdle down stone, so I could see hardness 8 making a dent in hardness 9, water alone can carve rock it takes a long time (mellenniums) I suspect high volocities and pressure helps "a little"
Is that aFlow machine? I ran one for a year awhile back. I used to cut rocks with it in my down time. You are actually cutting that corundum mainly with water pressure.garnet will never scratch a corundum massive like Sapphire. Cool experiment though. Try setting some of your tougher cuts in plaster of Paris as they will remain more stable. Quickcrete worked well to for larger pieces.
Ok I gotta say this, I follow this channel EXCLUSIVELY because of how dashing and beautiful that blonde guy is, how can you keep such a clean skin while working on a warehouse is beyond my comprehension but also such a perfectly curated beard... please blonde dude, have my babies
I don't think the abrasive strictly needs to be harder than the material you're trying to cut. Diamond is the hardest material on earth but not the strongest, smack it with a hammer and you'll turn it to dust. I think that the momentum of the garnet is sufficient to break off tiny pieces of the harder material by fracture, not etching, so it still "cuts", but isn't strictly "cutting".
boron nitride is nearly hard had diamond in comercial aplications, but sometimes you can find cnc tools thats have diffrent crystaline structure thats make them harder then diamond
What I find most interesting is that I like to watch these videos-- but back when I ran a waterjet I was so bored that I genuinely wanted to die sometimes.
You wanna get a block of Carbide or a Carbide bit and compare how it fares to the Sapphire. Good carbide is right up there with it but a completely different material.
I do not know too much about hardness but isn't the way things hardness is measured is by scratches? like a steel wire shouldn't be able to scratch glass because steel is lower on the scale than glass. does this check out or am I thinking about it wrong?
I don't think it would have scratched in half if your abrasive is softer than the sapphire. My guess would be that the impact of the abrasive itself might chip away some of the material. Sort of like cracking a rock with wooden stakes. They get all mangled and shed bits of wood everywhere but you can still split the rock.
Wurtzite boron nitride. Research this substance. It’s significantly harder and more dense than diamond. Diamond is the worlds hardest naturally occurring material but the previous named material is considerably harder(synthetic)
You guys should try and cut through some AR 1500 armor plate I seen the guys man at Arms make a sword out of it and apparently it's rather abrasive resistant I wonder how it would cut
I have always wondered how you guys afford this and weather or not you work in the shop. Also if greg just works there or owns it. Please explain how all this works.
No lick test. Can’t confirm material.
Matthew Braam true. Where is the lick test?
Chroma Angel that’s what he’s saying you rEeeeE
Probably would have cut easier with the power of the lick
Mitchel is alergic to jewels.
Could have been an epipen training video at the same time
Moissanite. It's a 9.5 on the moh's hardness scale. It's actually often used as an alternative to diamonds in engagement rings.
I just posted that before looking through comments for a post about Moissanite.
How rare is a Moissanite.
Dylan Baker way cheaper than diamonds and you would have to be an expert to tell the difference
@@dylanbaker7534 much more rare than diamond natural Moissanite has been found but most all the Moissanite you can buy was grown in a lab
Can confirm
Don’t you use corundum (sapphire is a type of corundum) as an abrasive?
Sapphire is Aluminum Oxide, a cutter setting which they have, but ignored. Doh!
@@YodaWhat corundum is a type of aluminium oxide, Al2O3...
I think they said they use some kind of crushed garnet
That's what I thought. Aren't sapphire and garnet basically the same stone?
