What is Wire EDM?
Wire EDM is a machining process that uses an electric spark to melt or vaporize metal materials for cutting. The cutting process is achieved by using an electrical discharge between two electrodes separated by a dielectric fluid and with different voltages applied. Wire EDM is a machining method used to create complex and precise shapes and contours on parts that are not possible with traditional CNC machining methods. One of the advantages of Wire EDM is that it can be used to machine parts made of materials that are usually difficult to machine with high precision and quality control using standard methods, such as heat-treated steels, alloys, and exotic metals. The Wire EDM process is capable of machining complex shapes with extremely close tolerances. It can also accurately machine narrow slots and small holes, making it a valuable tool for manufacturers and other engineering applications and industries.
Advantages of Wire EDM
Compared to other precision metal cutting processes, wire EDM has many advantages:
- No custom tooling required – delivery times are short
- No cutting forces present – virtually no burrs generated
- Workpiece material hardness does not affect cutting speed
- Improved surface finishes – no additional finishing or polishing needed
- Tools & metal parts are machined after heat treatment – dimensional accuracy is maintained
- Highly repeatable with no deformation
- Ability to stack, string & nest multiple parts
- Ideal for delicate & complex parts
- Tight tolerances & precise fits
- Small corners & radii
- Narrow slots & thin walls
Material Options
Elimold offers a wide range of materials suitable for wire EDM machining. We have an extensive inventory of high-performance alloys and specialty metals to meet the most demanding specifications. Whether you need a precision part or a complex geometry, our team of experts can help you select the best material solution for your project.

Surface Finishing Service Options
Elimold offers a range of value-added and finishing options to ensure your project is closer to the production finish line. We have the resources to provide you with ready-to-use components no matter your needs, including:
The finish option with the quickest turnaround. Parts are left with visible tool marks and potentially sharp edges and burrs, which can be removed upon request. Surface finish is comparable to 125 uin Ra finish.
The part surface is left with a smooth, matte appearance.
This is a batch-based process that tumbles vibrating media to remove sharp edges and burrs on machined parts. Tumbling can remove machine marks on exterior surfaces. Parts over 8” may require a manual review.
Type II (MIL-A-8625, Type II) creates a corrosion-resistant finish. Parts can be anodized in different colors—clear, black, red, and gold are most common—and is usually associated with aluminum. Type III (MIL-A-8625, Type III, Class 1/2 “hardcoat”) is thicker and creates a wear-resistant layer in addition to the corrosion resistance seen with Type II.
A surface finish for titanium per AMS-2488 Type 2 specification. Also called Tiodize, this finish increases fatigue strength and the wear resistance of a part. Titanium anodized parts are common in aerospace and medical device manufacturing. Non-pigmented titanium anodize finishes will dull shine.
A hard coat anodize process that embeds PTFE to create a self-lubricating, dry contact surface with Type 3 hard coat’s protective properties. This finish can be used on aluminum alloys or titanium and increases the service life of the product. This finish conforms to the AMS-2482 Type 1 Hard Coat Anodizing with Teflon (Non-Dyed).
Provides corrosion resistance and good conductivity properties. Can be used as a base for paint. Can leave surface yellow/gold. Adds very little thickness, about 0.00001”-0.00004”. Chem film will conform to MIL-DTL-5541, TYPE I/II.
Improves corrosion resistance for 200 and 300 series and precipitation hardened corrosion-resistant steels. Thickness is negligible, about 0.0000001”. Conforms to ASTM A967, AMS-QQ-P-35, MIL-STD-171, ASTM A380, or AMS 2700.
This is a process where powdered paint is sprayed onto a part that is then baked in an oven. This creates a strong, wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than standard painting methods. A wide variety of colors are available to create the desired aesthetic.
An electrochemical process cleans steel parts to reduce corrosion and improve appearance, by making the metal brighter. Removes about 0.0001”-0.0025” of the metal. Conforms to ASTM B912-02.
Provides uniform nickel coating which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces. The finished part will be brighter. Thickness starts at .0001”. Conforms to MIL-C-26074.
Silver offers high solderability and electrical conductivity but is susceptible to tarnish. Conforms to AMS QQ-S-365D. Thickness is about 0.00002” – 0.0003.”
Gold Plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance with excellent solderability. Default application specification is MIL-G-45204 and ASTM B488, CLASS 00, 0, OR 1. Thickness is about 0.00002″ – 0.00005.”
Provides uniform zinc coating which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces. Conforms to ASTM B633-15.

EDM vs. Conventional Machining
EDM and conventional machining are two different manufacturing methods, each with its own advantages and uses. EDM uses electrical discharges to wear away material, making it ideal for machining fine and intricate shapes. In contrast, conventional machining uses mechanical tools to cut through material, making it more flexible to accommodate different part sizes and materials. When choosing a manufacturing method, consider important factors such as part complexity, material, and your production needs. These decisions will help you find the best solution for your project. If you have any questions about the best option for your project, contact our team!
