EDM Wire Products & Brass Wire EDM

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), a manufacturing process whereby a desired shape is obtained using electrical discharges, is primarily used to cut hard metals and other materials that would be impossible to machine with traditional techniques. Sometimes referred to as “spark machining” or “spark eroding”, EDM is a non-traditional method of removing material by a series of rapidly recurring electric arcing discharges in the presence of an energetic electric field. EDM can cut small or odd-shaped angles, intricate contours or cavities in pre-hardened steel.

The EDM cutting tool is guided along the desired path. Consecutive sparks produce a series of micro-craters on the workpiece and remove material along the cutting path by melting and vaporization. The particles are washed away by the continuously flushing dielectric fluid. It is also important to note that a similar micro-crater is formed on the surface of the electrode. These micro-craters result in the gradual erosion of the electrode, many times requiring several different electrodes of varying tolerances to be used or, in the case of wire EDM machining, constant replacement of the wire by feeding from a spool.

Wire-cutting EDM is commonly used when low residual stresses are desired. Wire EDM has no added residual stress because it has no cutting forces. There is little change in the mechanical properties of a material in wire-cutting EDM due to these low residual stresses.

CutWise Brass EDM Wire

CutWise Brass Wire

CutWise Brass Wire

 

 

CutWise Premium Brass Wire is a high performance based wire that performs much better than the typical high speed wire that is Cu/Zn=65%/35%.  CutWise EDM hard brass, medium brass, and soft brass wire outperforms many of the other brands in every aspect.  Not only will it cut faster than the typical wire, it will burn cleaner which also saves you money when it comes to your other EDM consumables such as EDM filters and EDM guides.  The wire is not a paraffin coated wire and therefore does not have the residual burn off of the paraffin during the cutting process.

This wire is a ISO9002 standard wire and thus is held to strict restrictions on the performance of the wire.

  • High quality ISO9002 certified wire. Non-Paraffin coated. This is an excellent all around wire.
  • From precision cuts to being cost effective for roughing operations.
  • Tensile Strength for Hard is 900  n/mm²  with an elongation of 3% and a conductivity rating at 20%IACS.
  • Tensile Strength for Soft is 490  n/mm² with an elongation of 15% and a conductivity rating at 23%IACS.
  • Precise wire diameter (0, -0.002mm)
  • Ideal for automatic threading
  • Extremely clean and smooth wire surface

SONIC Performance EDM Wire

Sonic Cut EDM Wire

Sonic Cut EDM Wire

 

 

The benefits include a speed increase of 10% to 20% without the problems associated with coated or “hybrid” type wire. Higher cutting stability as compared to general brass wire resulting in fewer wire breaks, less surface recast, and a reduction in the time for secondary operations. Of course, high diametrical tolerance is held on this ISO certified wire. As you can see from the enclosed brochure, the cost is comparable to a high quality brass with an instant increase in your available machine utilization and profit margin. A small investment is price with a dramatic increase in parts out the door.

This premium wire is truly the performance wire that is expected of the name.  It is not just brass wire, it is much better than that and no other wire supplier has offered you this wire before.  North American EDM has sole distribution rights to this wire and it is only available through us.  If you are looking for a way to increase productivity while saving money, than this is the wire for you.
