Form Grinding wanted a better way to create the carbide inserts it used for cold extrusion forming in steel dies. The grinding wheel process they used to dimensionalize the carbide was slow and inefficient, and working with carbide on a grinding wheel is an untidy process. Plus it was costly, as the...
Producing fine finishes on EDMed surfaces has long been a goal, especially for mold and die shops that operate ram-type electrical discharge machines. Lately, there has been renewed interest in using additives in the dielectric oil to achieve ultra fine finishes with graphite electrodes without excessive...
