What is a Wire electric discharge machine?

A wire electric discharge machine is a machine tool that uses the electric discharge phenomenon generated between a wire that serves as an electrode for a processing material. The wire for processing is an extra-fine brass wire with a diameter of about 0.05 to 0.3 mm. In addition, since it is a non-contact processing that only discharges electricity from the wire used for processing and does not come into direct contact with the processing material, in principle any hard material can be processed as long as it has the property of conducting electricity.
