All About Wire EDM Machining

By Daniel Lee


Electrical Discharge Machining is a more advanced machining process. The kind of workpiece finish or shape that it will produce will rely on how the electrical sparks is applied. Wire EDM Machining is a kind of EDM machining method commonly used for forming tools, punches, or ties or cutting plates out of a hard metal.

In many industries today, wire EDM has become the key factor. This process is great for parts that are made from hard to machine or small or oddly shaped angles, intricate contours or cavities. Think of this as a reverse welding. In welding, electric current is used for adding materials, while here electric current will be used to remove materials.

The benefits you get from using this. There are many benefits you can get from this because during the manufacturing process materials are remove, which is why this is ideal for situations that requires low residual stress levels. This also minimizes workpiece damages. If you wire cut hard materials, the need to do a post heat treatment is eliminated, reducing the chances of distortion to its surface.

The workpiece will not experience any heat stress if you submerged this in dielectric fluid. This is the reason why an accurate and free of burr surface with an edge finish is produce. After production, this can now be used immediately, as long as all the parts are finished, no post treatment required.

Without overwhelming power there will be repeatable and tight resistances, and these outcomes into the correct consistency. With this, creating formed and very mind boggling shapes is simple. The originator will not have inconveniences as a result of its adaptability. Most manufacturers are using this service because of its fast turnaround time.

Check their experience. You want to find a company with many years of experience. The experience measures the skill of an organization or individual. This means, the more experienced, the more skilled. Write down a list of all the companies you are thinking of hiring, and choose the one with the most experience from your list, while considering the other factors as well.

These services can be applied to die and mold manufacturing process and are used to make parts and prototypes. The industries that frequently uses this includes electronics, aerospace, and automotive. With its highly precise nature, it is best used when working with intricate, complex, and delicate parts. These makes sense if you are working thin walled parts and parts with differing geometries features.

License and accreditation. The first thing you have to do when you find a company would be to ask to see their documents that proves that they are license and with accreditation. If they cannot provide you with such documents, or they refuse to let you see, you might want to look for another.

There are a lot of companies out there that provides such service, so finding one is not going to be hard. Choose a licensed, reliable, and experience company with good reputation. When choosing a company, never base your decision to its price, do not compromise the quality of work for a cheap offer.
