What is Wire Electrical Discharge Machining?
Wire EDM is also known as: wire-cut EDM, wire cutting, EDN cutting, EDM wire cutting, wire burning, wire erosion, wire eroding, wire cut electric discharge machining, and ‘cheese-cutter’ EDM.
Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) uses a metallic wire to cut or shape a workpiece, often a conductive material, with a thin electrode wire that follows a precisely programmed path. Typically the electrode diameters range from .004″ – .012″ (.10mm – .30mm), although smaller and larger diameters are available.
During the wire cutting process there is no direct contact between the wire and the workpiece which allows for machining without causing any distortion in the path of the wire, or the shape of the material. To accomplish this, the wire is very rapidly charged to a desired voltage. The wire is also surrounded by deionized water. When the voltage reaches the correct level, a spark jumps the gap and melts a small portion of the work piece. The deionized water cools and flushes away the small particles from the gap.
The hardness of the work piece material has no detrimental effect on the cutting speed. Extrusion dies and blanking punches are very often machined by wire cutting.
