Molybdenum Wire Fine Wire
Description Due to tensile strength limitations, few EDM wire typescan be manufactured in very small wire diameters, whichare necessary when EDMing small radii.
ApplicationSuitable for accurate cuts, small radii and geometricallycomplicated workpieces. The high strength of molybdenumwire makes it suitable for deep cuts that necessitate highlyaccurate parallelism and surface finish. It is especiallyrecommended for cutting carbides, steel, tungsten, titaniumand synthetic diamond.
