When Wire EDM Is the Right Process
Materials We Machine by Wire EDM Machining
Wire EDM only processes electrically conductive metals. This non‑contact cutting method works regardless of material hardness, delivering sharp internal corners, fine contours and tight tolerances for mould inserts, aerospace components and medical custom parts.
Tool Steel (D2, A2, M2, S7)
Hardened tool steel performs excellently for custom wire EDM machine materials. Machined post‑heat‑treatment without distortion, suited for stamping dies, mould blocks and wear‑resistant custom tooling parts.
Stainless Steel (304, 316L, 17‑4 PH)
Popular custom wire EDM machine materials for corrosion‑resistant custom components. Handles work‑hardened grades well, producing clean burr‑free edges for medical, food‑equipment and precision fixture parts.
Titanium & Titanium Alloys (Ti‑6Al‑4V Grade5)
Tungsten Carbide
Demanding custom wire EDM machine materials for ultra‑hard custom wear‑parts. Impossible for standard milling, wire EDM cuts complex profiles without chipping for cutting tools and die inserts.
Superalloys (Inconel 718, Hastelloy X)
High‑temperature custom wire EDM machine materials for custom aerospace and energy hardware. Overcomes severe work‑hardening issues common in conventional CNC machining.
Aluminum Alloys (6061‑T6,7075‑T6)
Fast‑cutting custom wire EDM machine materials for lightweight custom prototypes and fixtures. Delivers high accuracy on thin‑wall custom components for automotive and optical assemblies.
