I am working on trying to locate a material that will function as a deflector to stop the waterjet from cutting unwanted areas of a part. I so far I have tried carbide, glass, and various grades of steel. Has anyone had any success in finding a material that the water jet will not cut? I am using a 90,000 psi machine with HPA 80.

There are some nasty ballistic ceramics that are extremely difficult. Fire brick is also difficult. I'm not sure how you would use it as a coating.
