What Are the Differences Between Wire EDM and Die-Sinking EDM?

Wire EDM erodes metal with a precise, continuous wire, similar to how a hot knife cuts butter. The wire never comes into contact with the workpiece, but instead generates tiny, controlled sparks that vaporize the material along a predetermined path, resulting in intricate shapes and sharp corners. Die-sinking EDM works similarly. It employs an electrically charged…

Wire EDM Stainless Steel: Types, Applications and Technical Tips

Wire electrical discharge machining (Wire EDM) is a non-traditional machining process that uses a thin wire electrode to cut intricate and complex shapes into conductive materials. It is a highly versatile and precise process, making it ideal for machining stainless steel, a material known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Here we will talk…

6 Different Aspects in Wire EDM VS Laser Cutting

In the realm of modern manufacturing, precision cutting and shaping of materials play a pivotal role in the creation of intricate components and products. Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) and laser cutting are two prominent techniques that have revolutionized the industry, each boasting unique advantages and applications. As manufacturers strive for excellence in efficiency and quality,…

Do you really know what EDM is?

Maybe you are exposed to EDM daily in production, but do you know much about EDM? First of all, do you know how EDM technology came about? In 1943, when Lazarenko and his wife, academicians of the former Soviet Union Academy of Sciences, studied the phenomenon and causes of spark discharge corrosion damage to switch…

Application of EDM Technology in Die Manufacturing

For workpieces with complex structures, traditional cutting methods are often difficult to achieve. Therefore, some new methods have been developed in production. EDM is one of them, and it is widely used in the processing of cavities in the mold manufacturing industry. EDM technology is a new process that directly utilizes electrical and thermal energy…

Is High-speed Milling Really “Omnipotent”? So Is Wire EDM Still Useful?

In recent years, there has been a voice in the mold manufacturing industry that high-speed milling will replace Wire EDM, which leads some factory owners to make irrational choices when investing in equipment. Factories should find out the advantages and disadvantages of these two technologies, choose the appropriate equipment according to their own processing needs,…

5 Ways to Prevent the Broken Wire Cutting Fast Wire

At present, the electrode wire EDM used in domestic fast wire cutting machine tools include molybdenum wire, tungsten wire, tungsten and molybdenum wire, etc. Due to the high tungsten wire price, molybdenum wire is mainly used for production operations. The wire conveying mechanism controls the average speed of wire conveying at about 8m/s and is installed on…
