Electrical discharge machining (EDM) with a travelling wire electrode has become one of the most dynamic fields in metal working. Manufacturing advances in Electrical discharge machining (EDM) wires have directly contributed to increased cutting speed and dimensional accuracy. This paper focuses on the developments of EDM wire from copper to brass and from brass to various coated wire, which has helped make wire EDM machining, the method of choice for high-speed production as well as applications requiring improved contour accuracy and improved surface finishes. Some of the characteristics of high performance wire electrodes have been presented, which significantly increase the wire electrical discharge machining productivity.

Abstract


Electrical discharge machining (EDM) with a travelling wire electrode has become one of the most dynamic fields in metal working. Manufacturing advances in Electrical discharge machining (EDM) wires have directly contributed to increased cutting speed and dimensional accuracy. This paper focuses on the developments of EDM wire from copper to brass and from brass to various coated wire, which has helped make wire EDM machining, the method of choice for high-speed production as well as applications requiring improved contour accuracy and improved surface finishes. Some of the characteristics of high performance wire electrodes have been presented, which significantly increase the wire electrical discharge machining productivity.
