Wire EDM (Wire Electrical Discharge Machining) is a non-contact precision machining process designed for electrically conductive, hard-to-cut materials. Using a continuously fed fine wire and controlled electrical discharges, Wire EDM enables highly accurate cutting without introducing mechanical stress or distortion.

At EadeTech, Wire EDM is widely applied to titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys, tungsten, molybdenum, and hardened steels, supporting aerospace, medical, electronics, and industrial customers worldwide.

Why Wire EDM for Special Materials

Traditional CNC milling or turning often struggles with advanced alloys due to:

• Extreme material hardness

• Rapid tool wear

• Heat accumulation

• Thin-wall deformation

Wire EDM eliminates cutting force entirely, making it ideal for thin sections, intricate profiles, and tight tolerances, even in materials exceeding 50 HRC.

Wire EDM Machining Capabilities

• Max workpiece size: 800 × 600 × 400 mm

• Wire diameter range: Ø0.10 – Ø0.30 mm

• Minimum internal corner radius: 0.05 mm

• Tolerance capability: ±0.002 – ±0.005 mm

• Surface roughness: Ra 0.4 – 1.2 μm

Multi-Pass Wire EDM Strategy

To achieve superior accuracy and surface quality, EadeTech uses a multi-pass EDM approach:

1. Rough cutting for shape definition

2. Semi-finish trimming for stability

3. Final finishing for tolerance and surface quality
