Applications for Wire Cut EDM,Wire cut EDM Process

Wire cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM), is used to cut hardened metal plates as thick as 300 mm that are typically difficult to machine in any other way. It is also used when the final piece needs to have low stress, Wire EDM has low cutting force for material removal and little change in the mechanical properties is usually seen.
Wire EDM is used in the manufacture of extrusion dies, blanking punches and tool fabrication.
Wire EDM is best used for relatively low production volumes of items that require tight manufacturing tolerances. Among the industries that make use of components manufactured by EDM include the semiconductor industry, medical and instrumentation.
