Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Water-jet cutting of glass is considered. Data are presented regarding its applicability, advantages, disadvantages, and potential. In water-jet cutting, the following parameters are most significant: the jet velocity, abrasive grain size, jet inclination, and the distance from the nozzle to the machined surface. Computer simulation shows that, in water-jet cutting, the stress in the glass is lower than in mechanical cutting by a roller. That corresponds to minimal heat liberation and a precise cut with surface roughness Ra = 1.6 µm at the edges.
