    Electrical Discharge Machining Wire

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Electrical Discharge Machining Wire.
    Use in wire-cutting EDM machines.
    Also known as spark machining, electrical discharge machining (EDM) uses electrical current to erode a metal workpiece to a desired shape.
    Galvanized—Galvanized wire cuts faster than uncoated wire.
    Hard—Hard wire works better than soft wire in EDM machines with automatic wire threading.
    Soft—Soft wire stays straight as it comes off the spool, making it better than hard wire for EDM machines that do not have automatic wire threading.

    Brass Wire

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Brass. Brass Wire.
    Brass wire is stronger than copper wire, plus it’s conductive and won’t degrade from water. It stays in place when bent, so it’s often used for securing and bundling.

    Compression Springs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Compression Springs.
    Squeeze these springs and they’ll push right back to their original length. When compressed, they apply steady pressure to keep components securely in place. Release the pressure and they snap back instantly, just like the tip of a ballpoint pen.
    Corrosion-Resistant Conductive Brass—Won’t corrode from moisture and mild chemicals, similar to 302 stainless steel, while offering better conductivity for electrical applications.
