摘要

Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 23: Applications of Water Jet Technology to Shipbuilding. The use of hydraulic techniques for ship hull cleaning/surface preparation and cutting of primary metals has received considerable attention in recent years. Water jet cleaning of ship hulls has been investigated and utilized in conventional dry dock operations, but recent results have also shown that it can be used in the submerged condition and has selective material removal capabilities. Cutting of primary metals is a relatively new concept, due to increased capabilities of high pressure equipment. Thin metal sections have been cut and thicker sections can also be cut, but the economics of the process and some technical considerations have yet to be established.
