What is Wire EDM?
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (Wire EDM) is a precision machining method primarily used for shaping conductive materials like metals. In this process, a thin, electrically conductive wire serves as the cutting tool and is threaded through the workpiece. The workpiece and wire are submerged in a dielectric fluid, often deionized water, which acts as an electrical insulator and coolant.
High-frequency electrical discharges, or sparks, occur by applying a voltage between the wire and the workpiece. These sparks generate intense heat, melting and vaporizing a small portion of the workpiece material. The dielectric fluid then flushes away the molten debris. The wire continuously advances, exposing new workpiece sections to the sparking process, allowing for intricate and precise shaping controlled by computer numerical control (CNC).
