Analysis And Design of Zinc Coated Brass Electrode Wires on The Surface of WEDM Cut Component

Abstract

The term 'refractory metal' is used to describe a class of metal elements that have exceptionally high melting points and are resistant to corrosion, wear and deformation. Wire EDM Machining (also known as Spark EDM) is an electro thermal production process in which a thin single-strand metal wire (usually brass) in conjunction with de-ionized water (used to conduct electricity) allows the wire to cut through metal by the use of heat from electrical sparks. a thin single-strand metal wire, usually brass, is fed through the workpiece, submerged in a tank of dielectric fluid, typically deionized water. Wire-cut EDM is typically used to cut plates as thick as 300mm and to make punches, tools, and dies from hard metals that are difficult to machine with other methods.
