This zinc-coated wire consists of brass wire electroplated with high purity zinc. The high plating accuracy realizes faster machining speed and also provides a better surface finish on the work piece.
The high purity zinc layer formed on the surface of the brass by means of our unique electroplating technology realizes higher machining speed.
By uniformly coating the surface of the wire with zinc, which has good discharge characteristics, it is possible to create a finer discharge compared to when using general brass wire. In the finishing process, improved surface roughness and a better machined profile are obtained, resulting in high cost performance.
Almost no copper adheres to the work piece.
The zinc coating method is a method of coating by electroplating. It is not a method in which is wire is dipped in molten zinc.
A high purity uniform zinc layer can be obtained.
The discharge is stable and free of irregularities.
Impurities are kept to the minimum, thus preventing deterioration of performance.
