Precision Wire EDM Machining Services – Intricate Cutting with No Heat Distortion
At Catamount Machine Works, we specialize in high-precision Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) services designed for the most demanding applications. Our state-of-the-art Wire EDM machines can cut extremely intricate contours, tight-tolerance features, and complex cavities—even in pre-hardened metals—without compromising the integrity of the material.
Wire EDM is the ideal solution for applications that require unmatched precision, clean finishes, and no heat-affected zones (HAZ). Whether you’re working with titanium, hastelloy, kovar, inconel, or other tough-to-machine alloys, our Wire EDM process ensures clean, precise cuts with no distortion, warping, or micro-cracking.
What Is Wire EDM?
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-contact machining process that uses a thin, electrically charged wire to erode conductive materials with extreme accuracy. Because it doesn’t rely on cutting forces or introduce heat into the material, it’s perfect for producing:
- Tight-tolerance internal cavities
- Intricate shapes and contours
- Delicate features on hard materials
- Sharp corners and fine details
- Components requiring post-heat-treatment cutting
At Catamount Machine Works, our advanced Wire EDM technology allows us to create parts that would be impossible or impractical to machine using traditional cutting methods.
Materials We Cut with Wire EDM
Our Wire EDM services are optimized for cutting a wide range of conductive materials, including:
- Titanium – Strong and lightweight, used in aerospace and medical components
- Hastelloy – Corrosion-resistant alloy ideal for chemical processing industries
- Kovar – Nickel–cobalt alloy commonly used in electronic and glass-to-metal applications
- Inconel – High-performance nickel alloy known for extreme heat and oxidation resistance
- Tool Steels – Including pre-hardened grades that don’t require post-machining treatment
- Carbide – For wear-resistant tooling components
- Stainless Steel, Copper, and Brass
Our Wire EDM process eliminates the need to soften and re-harden these materials, saving both time and cost—while preserving their mechanical properties.
