Abstract
The paper presents the fractal analysis application for a simple evaluation of the quality of waterjet treated surfaces, especially after abrasive waterjet cutting. This analysis will enable the elimination of subjective assessments of treated surfaces. This will ensure a clear estimate of the quality of the surface and the ability to objectively compare the quality of the cutting edge obtained by using different cutting parameters.
