Wire EDM Machining in the UK
127 of 2017 verified UK manufacturers on cmgraph's CNC Machining — UK lens offer wire EDM — 6% of the cohort.
Wire electrical-discharge machining — a travelling brass or coated wire electrode erodes the workpiece by controlled spark discharge in a dielectric. Because there is no cutting force and no heat-affected roughing, it cuts fully hardened tool steel, carbide and delicate thin-wall profiles that milling cannot hold.
Also known as wire erosion, spark erosion, EDM wire cutting or wire cut EDM.
