Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a manufacturing process that uses electrical sparks to form metal shapes. Because of these sparks, EDM is also known as spark machining. In this process, the desired shape is cut from the metal when a current discharge or spark occurs between the two electrodes. Where the spark occurs, the metal is cut to form the desired shape and separated from the sheet metal.

Comprehend the Wire EDM Process

wire edm

During the wire EDM process, a metal part is put into dielectric fluid, and a wire The wire is passed through the submerged metal part. Electricity is sent through the part to create a spark that ultimately helps create the desired part shape.

When the distance between the electrodes is narrowed, the electric field strength increases, thereby increasing the strength of the dielectric fluid. Under these conditions, current passes more easily between the two electrodes, and each spark causes the element to separate from the metal sheet.

After the current is passed through and the desired shape is achieved, manufacturers sometimes take a process called “flushing,” using a dielectric liquid to help remove any undemanding material or waste from the finished product.

Materials for EDM

Materials options at JTR include various hard-to-handle conductive metals and alloys, which include:

Tool steels

Steel 1018, steel 4130, steel 4140, Steel 4140PH, steel A36, Steel 4340, etc.

Stainless steels
Aluminum alloys
Cooper
Titanium
Brass

Why Choose Our Wire EDM Service?

Easy to handle complex parts machining

Intricate or complex shapes and patterns can be made using precisely focused electrical discharges. Wire EDMs can create different shapes, such as contours and holes, even on the hardest and most fragile materials.

Mechanic-free during the process

Unlike manufacturing processes that make heavy use of impact cut materials, wire EDM uses thermal discharge to cut parts. This means that the final product will not be deformed, twisted, or deformed in any way by the brute force in material removal.

High efficiency

When you use a wire EDM, you don’t have to use a lot of energy to cut even the toughest materials. Additionally, you will reduce material waste because the process only removes the target particles. Your cut kerf (cut width) is usually less than 0.015 inches. Also, you don’t need other machines for post-processing as this method provides precise and accurate cuts.

Accuracy and Precision

The best thing about Wire EDM is that your final product does not need to go through other processes such as grinding, honing, etc. This method provides a high level of accuracy and precision, especially on the smallest parts.

High Tolerance

Another benefit of Wire EDM is that you can achieve high tolerances no matter what material you use. You can easily achieve a tolerance of +/- 0.0005 inches with some machines with tolerances as low as a few microns.

Overview of Wire EDM

What is Wire EDM?

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is an advanced machining process that relies on the precise application of electrical discharge to produce the desired workpiece shape or finish. Wire EDM (WEDM) is a variation of the electrical discharge machining method commonly used to cut sheets or form connectors, tools, or punches from harder metals that are often not conducive to standard machining processes.

How Does Wire EDM Work?

The EDM manufacturing process begins by dipping a part or assembly into a bath filled with a dielectric fluid. The next step is to thread a thin wire through the underwater section, which is sandwiched between the upper and lower rails. Rails are usually CNC controlled and designed to move in the X and Y planes. An electrical current is then introduced to create the spark and create the desired cutting or forming action.

Who are our customers?

OEMs and contract manufacturers without their own WEDM equipment.

Many of our customers are production processing suppliers producing metal parts who need our help with large projects or challenging assemblies. Our particular focus on Wire EDM contract services makes us an ideal company to work closely with.
