Because there is absolutely no mechanical stress, heat distortion or heat-affected zone (HAZ), secondary processing can usually be eliminated. Get a satin smooth edge directly off the waterjet table.

Forming, or metal forming, is the metalworking process of fashioning metal parts and objects through mechanical deformation; the workpiece is reshaped without adding or removing material, and its mass remains unchanged.

Punching is a metal forming process that uses a punch press to force a tool, called a punch, through the workpiece to create a hole via shearing. The punch often passes through the work into a die.

Shearing is a process which cuts stock without the formation of chips, burning or melting. In technical terms, the process of "shearing" involves the use of straight cutting bladesorm of sheet metal or plates.

Rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through 2 rolls to reduce the thickness and to ultimately make the thickness uniform. Rolling is classified according to the temperature of the metal rolled.

Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals by causing fusion, which is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal.
