What is CNC Wire EDM 310 Stainless Steel and how is it done?
CNC Wire EDM 310 Stainless Steel refers to wire EDM cuts conductive metal with a charged wire, achieving fine detail and tight tolerance with no cutting force. Applied to 310 Stainless Steel — corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Can you EDM-machine hardened 310 Stainless Steel?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult 310 Stainless Steel can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
Does CNC Wire EDM 310 Stainless Steel require dedicated tooling?
Wire EDM needs no shaped tooling; sinker EDM uses a shaped electrode we produce in-house for your cavity.
Why is 310 Stainless Steel a good choice for CNC Wire EDM?
310 Stainless Steel is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic, which makes it well suited to CNC Wire EDM. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 310 Stainless Steel EDM machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What surface finish is achievable on 310 Stainless Steel with CNC Wire EDM?
Surface finish on 310 Stainless Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
