EDM cutting performance describes the cutting capability of a wire electrode in electrical discharge machining. It refers to how efficiently a wire removes material and how productively an EDM process can be performed.
Cutting performance is not only about maximum cutting speed. It also depends on removal rate, wire stability, process reliability, surface quality, machine compatibility and overall efficiency.
bedra develops EDM wires for different performance profiles, from standard applications and precision machining to high-performance cutting. Coated wires, gamma-phase technologies, TRIMPAC® and blac technology show that cutting performance must always be considered as a system of material, coating and application.
The right wire depends on machine type, workpiece, cutting strategy and quality target.
