EDM Wire
Stainless Steel Products is an authorized exclusive distributor of high-quality SENOR EDM wire.
EDM Wire, a crucial component in Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), serves as the electrode that enables precision machining of intricate shapes and profiles in hard materials.
Features and Benefits
1. Very good straightness, excellent in auto threading applications, especially in Jananese and German cutting machines.
2. Excellent Surface Finish
3. Good Roundness
4. Inline Japanese Continuous Annealing Technology ensures a stable and uniform tensile strength preventing wire breakage.
5. Manufactured with a high precision and wire diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002mm with smooth surface free from flaws or irregularities.
6. Higher Cutting efficiency

Electrolytic Zinc Plated Brass EDM Wires
Zinc-coated wires manufactured on European Technology consists of brass wire electroplated with high purity zinc. the high plating accuracy realizes faster cutting speed and provides a better surface finish on the work piece.
Features
- High purity uniform zinc layer
- Impurities are kept to the minimum, thus preventing deterioration of performance
- The discharge is stable and free of irregularities
- High cutting rates
- Reduced tendency of wire breakage and copper deposit
- 6. Excellent value for money
High quality diffused EDM Wires for High Speed EDM Machines. This diffused EDM wires are coated and diffused to give better cutting speed, up to 25% then plain wires.
