What Is Wire EDM?

Wire cut Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM), sometimes also known as wire cutting. Wire cut Electrical Discharge Machining is to generate small electrical discharge on the metal surface, and use the discharge to cut and process the material. During EDM process, there is no physical contact between the tool and the workpiece. CNC machine and equipment allow the use of some new EDM techniques. Electric discharge Machining wire cutting technology is a kind of special processing. It is different from the traditional processing technology need to use mechanical force and mechanical energy to cut, the main use of electrical energy to achieve the processing of materials. Therefore, EDM wire cutting technology is not limited by material properties. It can process any hardness, strength, brittleness of the material. EDM wire cutting technology occupies a very important position in the present stage of mechanical processing. In practical applications, EDM is often used in the mold manufacturing industry, which can be used to process hard materials and produce precision complex parts.

The Characteristics of Wire EDM Machining

Wire cutting electrical discharge machining technology mainly has the following characteristics:

Wire EDM Machining's Characteristics

1.There is no cutting force in the processing, almost no burrs for the processed parts. regardless of the hardness and stiffness of the material, as long as it is conductive or semi-conductive materials can be processed. But Wire cutting EDM cannot machining non-metallic conductive materials.

2. EDM can machining small holes and various complex shape parts, but can not machining blind holes.

3. The electrode wire machining loss is small, and the EDM precision is high.

4. The slit generated during processing is narrow, and the amount of metal erosion is small, which is conducive to the reuse of materials.

5. When the workpiece material is too thick, the working liquid is more difficult to enter and fill the discharge gap, which will affect the processing accuracy and surface roughness.

6. There may be cracks, deformation and other problems on the surface of the workpiece during the EDM, and appropriate heat treatment and roughing should be done before EDM machining to remove defects in material properties and blank shape and improve m accuracy.

7. The workpiece can be machined through CNC programming technology, and the processing parameters can be adjusted, which is easy to realize automatic machining.

Wire Cut EDM Applications

Wire EDM cutting is an option for metal parts where the entire thickness of the raw material needs to be cut. Wire cutting services are ideal for projects that require complex tolerances, where materials are too brittle to press, and where material stress and heating are limited. Our engineers have extensive experience with the best Wire EDM machining practices and materials, and below are the main applications for the wire EDM cutting.

Mold processing

Die parts, templates, small parts with various shapes and narrow grooves processed by cemented carbide hardened steel materials, especially the processing of electrodes used in die, extrusion die, plastic die and EDM mold.

Trial production of new products

When producing new products, some key parts often need mold manufacturing, but the cycle of mold machining is long and the cost is high, the use of wire cutting EDM can directly cut out the parts, thereby reducing the prodution cost and shortening the production cycle of new products.

Complex parts

In the machining of precision holes, templates and their forming tools and precision slots, it is difficult to use the method of mechanical cutting, and the use of wire cutting processing is more convenient.

Precious metal cutting

Because the electrode wire size used for wire cutting is much smaller than the cutting tool size (the smallest electrode wire size can be up to 0.02mm), using it to cut precious metals can reduce a lot of slit consumption, thus reducing the cost.

Advantages of Wire EDM Machining

The wire EDM cutting is essential for a variety of industrial field, and here are some of the advantages of wire EDM cutting technology.

01

High precision

Wire EDM cutting can produce tiny EDM discharges on the metal surface to achieve high-precision cutting and processing.
02

Fast speed

Wire EDM machining can be cut and processed at high speed and continuously to achieve high efficiency production.
03

Low cost

Wire EDM machining does not need to use traditional hard materials such as steel knives, grinding stones and other abrasives, without tool replacement and wear, saving a lot of tool costs..

04

Wide applicability

Wire EDM machining can cut and machining thin sheets and thin-walled components of various metal materials, which is suitable for various fields and industries in the manufacturing industry.
05

Can machining complex shapes

Wire EDM machining can maching a variety of complex shapes, can achieve automatic processing without manual intervention, improve production efficiency.
06

Save material

Wire EDM using a small wire as a tool electrode, the knife edge is small after machining, which improves the material utilization rate and reduces the material cost.

Wire EDM Materials

Edm is suitable for machining some conductive materials with high hardness, high strength and high brittleness, so it is some conductive metals and alloys that are difficult to process, including:

Stainless steels	Titanium	Brass
Carbon steel	Aluminum	Copper
High-speed steels	Carbide	Bronze
Tool steels	Inconel	Magnesium
Hardened steels	Tungsten	Nickel
High-speed cobalt	Hastelloy	Molybdenum
