Understanding the Difference Between EDM and Wire EDM
Understanding the Difference Between EDM and Wire EDM CNC precision machining field There are two common techniques stand out: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) and Wire EDM. While both methods utilize electrical discharges to remove material, they have distinct characteristics and applications. EDM vs Wire EDM: Features and Applications Item EDM Wire EDM Features Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-traditional machining process that employs controlled electrical discharges to erode material from the workpiece. It involves the use of a specially shaped electrode, typically made of graphite or copper, which is lowered onto the workpiece. The discharges occur between the electrode and the workpiece, gradually removing material and creating the desired shape. Wire EDM (Wire Electrical Discharge Machining), also known as EDM Wire Cutting, utilizes a thin, electrically charged wire as…
