Wire cutting of titanium material

When machining titanium material using wire EDM, it is critical to select the correct cutting parameters. Cutting speed, wire tension and flushing conditions all play a vital role in achieving successful results. The cutting speed or the rate at which the wire passes through the workpiece affects the amount of heat generated during machining. Higher cutting speeds result in increased tool wear and poorer surface finishes, while lower cutting speeds result in lower productivity. Finding the optimum cutting speed for titanium can be challenging due to its low thermal conductivity and high strength. Proper wire tension is critical to maintaining accuracy and stability during machining. Insufficient wire tension can lead to wire deflection and vibration, which can result in inaccurate machined parts. On the other hand, too much wire tension can lead to wire breakage and premature tool wear. Finding the right balance of wire tension is critical to successful titanium wire cutting.
