We have a reputation for offering the highest quality metal products. From brass to titanium grades, there is a wide variety to choose from. In addition, we help customers by providing and arranging specialist services such as wire erosion. By using this technique, we are able to give people accurate metal cutting for very good prices.
The wire erosion machining operation is a first rate modern process. It is great for the creation of precise products. As a result, it is vital to many high tech industries. Examples include Formula 1 components, satellite manufacturing, oil and gas, and aerospace. If you think about the demands with these industries, the erosion manufacturing tends to be the smart choice. What we are going to do is talk more about the situations where you should use it so you can see how useful it is.
Gas and oil components
Firstly, we will talk about using it for the machining of galleries, slits, slots, and holes. This is standard for creating components for the gas and oil industry. Here, precision is very important as any issue could allow problems like leaks. People tend to use wire and spark erosion here for a full electrical discharge machining solution.
Chemically treated materials
People can use this type of machining on these materials as well. The thing to keep in mind with them is that they often become surface brittle. That can be an issue when you need to cut them, giving rise to a number of potential flaws. However, the wire cutting is a machining operation that can prevent deformation of the material surface. It can also improve component integrity.
Hard metals
The erosion machining can also be used on hardened substances. These can be tricky to machine, just like with ones that receive chemical treatments. To tackle this problem, milling, turning, or 5 axis machining are used pre-hardening. They help you obtain the component structure. As for post hardening finishing and machining, you would achieve them using the wire cutting.
