Nowadays, the main task of a locksmith is cold metal processing – manually or with the use of power tools. The scope of work of a locksmith includes small parts of mechanisms, minor machining and manual processing of steel, stainless steel and aluminum surfaces.
A locksmith is treated as a welder’s assistant, because he is very often responsible for preparing materials for welding and their subsequent processing in order to apply protective coatings.
The very wide range of skills that a locksmith must have include everything related to mechanics (assembly and disassembly of devices), cutting, sawing, drilling, riveting, soldering and skills in the field of electrical engineering and hydraulics. Also metal science is a very important field of knowledge that a locksmith must acquire – testing the hardness, strength, elasticity, impact strength, plasticity and other basic characteristics of metals is the knowledge necessary for the proper performance of locksmith’s profession.
Thermal and jet processing
Thermal and jet processing allow you to cut materials under the influence of heat (in the case of thermal processing) or a water jet (in the case of jet processing). They involve changing the properties of the material by removing it and achieving specific parameters, such as shape. At Marxam Project, we provide comprehensive cutting services using various techniques, thanks to which your project will look exactly the way you want it.

Definition of thermal and jet processing
Thermal processing, often also called thermal treatment of metals, is a process that involves applying temperature to the material in order to shape it and give it specific parameters. It includes a number of techniques that influence the workpiece using various methods. These include laser cutting, which uses a hot laser beam to precisely cut material, and plasma cutting, which uses a plasma arc. A characteristic feature of heat treatment is its precision and even separation of material, which increases the quality of the final product.
Jet processing, in turn, involves affecting the material with a concentrated energy carrier, such as a water stream. This allows it to be cut by evaporation in the place where the waterjet was used. Its characteristic feature is its eco-friendliness and the lack of heat influence on the processed material. This is especially important when cutting sensitive materials, such as glass, which may be deformed due to excessive temperature.
Principles of thermal and jet processing
Thermal processing uses temperature to influence the material and give it the expected shape and other parameters. For this purpose, one of the most popular techniques is laser cutting, which uses a hot laser beam which, under the influence of high temperature, significantly heats the material and causes it to evaporate. The second frequently chosen technique is plasma cutting, which is most often chosen when cutting electrically conductive products due to its high flexibility. Using a plasma arc, an element is shaped to a specific shape and parameters.
Jet processing, in turn, uses a high-pressure water stream to cut even several elements at the same time. For this purpose, various cutting heads are used, which allow you to select precise processing parameters. It is characterized by high ecological friendliness and no impact on the internal part of the material.
Advantages of thermal and jet processing
Both thermal and jet processing offer a number of advantages that make them a popular choice for the treatment of metals and other materials. Their numerous benefits include:
Advantages of thermal processing
- Material versatility – These processes are perfect for cutting a wide range of elements, from metals such as aluminum, bronze, copper and others, to plastics, stone, glass and ceramics.
- High precision – A concentrated plasma arc or hot laser beam allows for accurate cuts, which allows you to obtain precisely defined shapes.
- Strengthening the material – The cutting agent strengthens the material and its structure, which results in greater durability of the processed elements.
- Consistency of results – It is worth noting that the techniques in this treatment do not cause tool wear, which allows you to obtain consistent results without having to worry about constantly adjusting parameters due to, for example, fraying of the tip of the tools.
Advantages of jet processing
- Eco-friendliness – The use of water allows you to reduce energy consumption and reuse it. Waterjet cutting uses up to 4l/min, but it can be reused later.
- No heat influence – Unlike thermal processing, high temperatures are not used, which is particularly important when cutting brittle and heat-sensitive materials.
- Does not affect the internal properties of the material – Water cutting does not affect the internal parameters of the material, so the element does not change its structure around the cutting zone.
- Greater possibilities – Compared to thermal processing, it has greater power, which allows it to cut thicker materials and even several elements at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between thermal processing and jet processing?
The most important difference between these treatments is their effect of heat. Thermal processing shapes the element under the influence of temperatures (laser and plasma), while jet processing uses high pressure (water) with the possible addition of garnet – a special mineral aggregate that is intended to increase the effectiveness of water jet cutting.
What industries are these techniques used for?
Both types of these treatments have some of the widest applications in all metalworking. Thanks to them, you can cut products in the automotive, construction, aviation, electronics, furniture, food and many, many other industries.
Which of these treatments is cheaper?
This will depend on the specific parameters of the project, as using one technique may be more cost-effective for different specifications, but as a general rule, direct laser cutting is slightly cheaper than plasma and waterjet cutting. Only the subsequent requirements placed on the manufactured element and what further production processes will have to be used make us decide on one or the other type of technological process.
Which one should I choose for my project?
The choice of specific treatment will depend on the design parameters. If you are unsure, our helpful specialists will be happy to help you with your selection, so you can be sure to choose the technology with the best possible results.
What are the lead times for thermal and jet processing?
The implementation time will depend on the project parameters, such as the processed material, production volume, etc. After reviewing all the details, we will present a detailed cost estimate, action plan and deadline for its implementation.
