wire electrical discharge machining (wire edm) is a process that works by continuously feeding a wire electrode under tension on a vertical axis. the wire used for edm ranges in diameter from 0.004” (0.100mm) to 0.013” (0.33mm) with 0.010” (0.254mm) being the most common. You have the following major operation options:

edm wires break because their fracture toughness is too low to sustain the flaws that are being introduced by the discharges being generated. wire edm supports 2 axis and 4 axis profile and 2 axis no core operations. The sparks happen in a. When it cuts sparking occurs.
