Product Description
EDM wire is a type of wire that is commonly used in the manufacturing of tools and parts for various industries. EDM stands for Electrical Discharge Machining, which is a process that uses electrical sparks to remove material from a workpiece.
EDM wire is made from a high-strength metal alloy, such as brass or copper, and is designed to withstand the extreme heat and electrical discharge generated during the EDM process. The wire is typically very thin, with diameters ranging from 0.001 to 0.012 inches, and is wound onto spools for use in EDM machines.
During the EDM process, the wire is fed through the workpiece while an electrical discharge is applied between the wire and the workpiece. This creates a spark that melts and vaporizes the material, which is then removed by a flushing system.
EDM wire is a crucial component in the EDM process, as it is responsible for carrying the electrical current that generates the sparks. It is also important for ensuring precision and accuracy in the machining process, as the thin wire allows for very fine cuts and intricate shapes to be created.

FAQ's of EDM Wire:
Q: How is this EDM wire used in the cutting process?
A: The wire is installed in an EDM machine, which uses electrical discharges between the wire and the workpiece to erode materials with high precision. Its consistent diameter and excellent straightness allow accurate and stable cuts, making it suitable for die and mold manufacturing.
Q: What benefits does the zinc coating provide for EDM operations?
A: The zinc coating enhances the wire's electrical conductivity (18% IACS), reduces oxidation, and minimizes wire wear during operation. This results in cleaner cuts, improved efficiency, and extended wire life within EDM processes.
Q: When should you choose this wire for EDM applications?
A: Select this wire when you require precise cutting, high tensile strength (850-950 N/mm2), excellent straightness, and superior surface finish, such as when producing detailed components for dies and molds in high-performance industries.
Q: Where is this EDM wire primarily utilized?
A: The wire is commonly used in industries focused on precision engineering, such as tool and die making, mold manufacturing, and sectors that depend on intricate and reliable cuts, both in India and globally.
Q: What is the process behind ensuring the wire's quality?
A: Manufacturers use high-purity brass and advanced zinc coating methods, followed by strict diameter control and straightness testing. Each spool is vacuum-sealed or packed in moisture-proof packaging to preserve wire integrity during storage and export.
Q: How does the packaging protect the wire during export?
A: Vacuum-sealed or moisture-proof packaging prevents oxidation and contamination, maintaining the wire's conductivity and surface quality even during long-distance shipping or extended storage.
