Waterjet cutting titanium avoids heat affected zones and oxidation at the cut edge. PRV cuts titanium plate for aerospace, medical and high performance parts. Established in 1986, PRV Engineering operates from a 54,000 sq ft precision engineering facility in Pontypool, South Wales.
Cutting is done on an Idroline S 1730 hydro-abrasive waterjet with an X axis of 3000mm, Y axis of 1700mm and Z stroke of 350mm. A B axis tilt of +/-60 degrees allows bevel and 5 axis cutting, and the R axis handles tubes from 42mm to 508mm diameter, up to 2570mm long and 400kg. Because it is a cold process there is no heat affected zone, no hardening and no distortion. Narrow kerf gives excellent material yield, and many parts need no secondary finishing at all.
Laser and plasma are quick on thin mild steel, but they bring heat. That means hardened edges, distortion and changed material properties. Waterjet avoids all of that, cuts almost any material and handles thick plate that laser can't touch. For armour, hardened steel, titanium, copper, composites and anything heat sensitive, waterjet is the right call.
Aerospace parts need precision, complex geometry and material integrity. PRV machines titanium, aluminium and nickel alloys on multi-axis plant, and waterjet cuts heat sensitive materials without any heat affected zone.
Batch size is not a problem. One-offs, pre-production runs and high volume schedules all go through the same controlled process. Materials cover the full spread from mild steel to titanium and nickel alloys, and Kanban, VMI, consignment and JIT supply can be set up for repeat lines.
PRV keeps things simple for buyers. One quote covers every process, one purchase order covers the whole job, and one team is accountable for the result. Material certificates, inspection reports and conformity paperwork are supplied as required.
Being a true one stop shop is the big advantage. A part can be cut, machined, welded, plated and painted without ever leaving the site, which cuts lead times, removes supplier handovers and keeps quality in one pair of hands. Accreditations include BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Constructionline and Acclaim SSIP.
