The paper considers the efficiency of waterjet cutting of the die cutters used in the manufacture of parts made of Kh12 and Kh12M steels. Investigations are carried out of the waterjet cutting methods of chromium-nickel and chromium-molybdenum alloys. It is found that waterjet cutting of workpieces made of Kh12 and Kh12M steels provides up to 5.65 kg of metal savings compared with other processing methods.
Simon et al. (2026) studied this question.
