What is Wire EDM?


by jwksales | JWK Sales

Wire Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is the process in which metals are submerged in a dielectric fluid then wire cut and spark-shaped by using heat produced by an electric current. The current is mapped through computerized numerical controls (CNC) and the electric field intensifies as the distance separating the electrodes narrows. This leads to the separation of the component from the metal itself and delivers accuracy without putting undue stress on the part.

A wire EDM machine is able to carefully remove excess material without exerting a strong cutting force. Wire EDM is especially effective when working with exceptionally hard and dense metals as a more heat-intensive metal fabrication technique may distort a part. Wire EDM delivers both the precision for shapes and quality needed for best-in-class results with hardened metals needing close tolerances to create small, intricate parts.
