Getting Wired Into EDM: TECHNOLOGY EMPHASIZES HIGH ACCURACIES AND IMPROVED SURFACE FINISHES

摘要

Wire electrical discharge machining (wire EDM or spark machining) is an extremely accurate manufacturing process. The predictable and easy to automate technique was commercially developed in the 1970s, allowing manufacturers to work with harder materials while maintaining precision cutting. It's a process that involves a thin, single strand metal wire in conjunction with de-ionized water to cut metal using heat from electric sparks.
