Can you edm brass

This is not the first time I have heard of this. The most likely cause depending on EDM manufacturer is that the lower head ground cables power cables attached to your lower head need to be cleaned or replaced. Second would be the carbide contact needs to be rotated to a non worn out area. I am saying this of the lower head because being submerged in water most of the time means more wear on it but check the upper head if this is not the cause. Edm Wires. Riveting Brass Wire.

If the work pieces are relatively thin, say. If there are tapering requirements, such as conical shapes or isometric radii, then only one piece can be cut at a time. However, since Wire EDM machines may run unattended, labor charges are kept to a minimum, and the same operator may run multiple machines. V W Broaching Service will estimate the most efficient methodology for cutting your parts when the estimate is given.

Before I spend hours on this, do you guys have any tricks or helpful starting parameters? Thanks in advance Andrew. I've found brass to cut very quickly, but to be very dirty in the cut. I suspect it's the zinc content of the brass combining with the chemical constituents of the dielectric fluid that makes it so.

Of all the things that helped me, close attention to the flushing was most beneficial. If you even think the trode needs internal flushing, drill the holes and save yourself the grief. Also watch constantly for buildup on the trode You might need to accept accelerated trode wear in order to get a stable, reasonably clean burn.
