CNC Sinker EDM Tungsten

CNC Sinker EDM Tungsten is a core capability at VT machining. We combine controlled EDM machining with material-aware setup for Tungsten — an alloy that is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance — to produce parts that meet your specification first time.

CNC Sinker EDM Capability for Tungsten

• Blind cavities & ribs
• Fine surface (VDI grades)
• Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
• Hardened tool steel

How CNC Sinker EDM Tungsten Works

Material is removed from the Tungsten workpiece by controlled electrical discharges across a dielectric gap, with no mechanical contact. Flushing, on/off pulse timing and electrode/wire feed are set to balance speed against surface finish.

Every job begins from your CAD model or 2D drawing. Fixturing and tool paths are planned so the most critical dimensions are produced in the most rigid, repeatable setup. Critical dimensions are checked on the first part and monitored through the run.

Secondary Operations & Finishing

We complete Tungsten components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.

CNC Sinker EDM Tolerances & Surface Finish

EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the Tungsten part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.

Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.

Design Tips for CNC Sinker EDM Tungsten

A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened Tungsten that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.

CNC Sinker EDM Quality & Inspection

Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on Tungsten parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.

Working with Tungsten

Tungsten offers a useful combination of properties: it is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance. Those characteristics shape how we approach EDM — from tool and parameter selection to work-holding and coolant.

If your application is sensitive to alloy condition, we agree the specification in writing and document it. Stock is sourced from reputable suppliers so what you order is what you receive.

Applications of CNC Sinker EDM Tungsten

CNC Sinker EDM of Tungsten supports parts across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor, energy and general industrial sectors. We scale from one-off prototypes to ongoing production while holding the same quality.

How to Order CNC Sinker EDM Tungsten

Ordering Tungsten parts is straightforward. Provide the drawing, material, quantity and any certification needs. Our engineers reply — in English — with feasibility, pricing and a realistic lead time, usually within one business day.
