This is an excellent question that applies to both plain brass and coated/stratified wire. When comparing different wires, there are several characteristics and attributes that should be examined beyond price alone. Depending on how often different brands or types of...
There are several different techniques for holding and retaining material slugs. These methods will vary based upon the material type and size of the slug. It is important to have a slug management plan in place before machining begins, as it is imperative to prevent...
This is a common question and one that does not have a simplistic answer, as there are many different machine and application variables that must be examined in order to determine which wire type is best. In order to evaluate your wire needs, you’ll want to answer...
When storing new or partially used wire spools, they should not be stored with the wire laying horizontally (laying on the spool flanges). It is common to store a spool by laying it on the flanges so that the spool does not roll away; however, this can loosen the wire...
All EDM machining is a thermal/heat process that can alter or change the structure of the machined workpiece. Early EDM technology thermally damaged materials as a result of not controlling the discharge spark energy precisely enough. The resulting metallurgical...
