FAQ
Can A10W be considered for use in electrical machining?
We believe A10W can be used safely even in electrical machining.
Fine particle grain cemented carbide inhibit crack propagation through mixing coarse-sized grain, and the heat affected layer's thickness is reduced through lowering the amount of Co. This is why we recommend A10W for wire EDM.
Q&A in the same category in this question

What about working with pure iron, pure copper, and nickel?
The reason for a shorter lifespan is due to their affinity with cobalt contained in carbide.
We have received great praise for our MC20 that controls this adhesion with lowered affinity to these materials. -
We are using carbide for press processing of stainless materials, but compared to SPCC, abrasion occurs quickly and parts must be replaced.
Stainless materials are hard and tough, which leads to greater abrasion and chipping of the tool.
We recommend using KX01, as it has superior toughness and resistance to heat, and is extremely hard. -
We are using fine grain and ultra fine grain carbide parts with wire cutting and EDM machines, but chipping occurs often during use.
Try our A10W.
This material maintains the transverse rupture strength of KD20, while having resistance to thermal cracking during EDM/WEDM improved.
