Parts that are subject to high-stress cyclic loads often suffer from metal Fatigue, which reduces their life and causes them to fail. In some cases, the surface produced by waterjet cutting could contribute to fatigue; however, there are ways how to minimise impact and increase resistance. Properly designing parts, using the optimal cutting quality for the part and choosing the best finishing process are all ways that can increase the fatigue resistance of your parts significantly.
