Wire EDM is used to cut shapes through a selected conductive part or assembly. After the part has a hole drilled into it, the thin wire, which is used as the electrode, is fed through the hole in order to complete the machining. Because there is no physical contact between the machined part and the wire, the hardness of the work piece has no effect on cutting speed. The wire is surrounded by de-ionized water and is charged rapidly to a voltage. Once it is at the right level, a spark will jump from the wire to the work piece, melting a small part of it. The water then flushes away the particles in the gap and cools the piece.
Wire EDM is extremely accurate (up to +/-.0001”), so it is commonly used for high tolerances. In addition to hard materials, wire EDM is a solution for delicate parts because there are no cutting forces used and, in turn, there is a lesser chance of damaging the parts. Since there are no burrs created in the process, no tooling is required after the forming of the piece, making delivery times fast. Wire EDM is performed after the piece has been heat-treated so that heat does not distort the dimensional accuracy.
Difficult shapes are often formed by wire EDM. Both simple and complex two-dimensional shapes can be created with cutouts, thin walls, tight radius contours and intricate openings. Wire EDM has been used for production processes including mold-making and can also be used for form tools. Parts smaller than a penny to parts as large as molds for hard hats can all be made through wire EDM.
