EDM Start Hole Drilling into Carbide
Eroding Result: Process reliability & highest precision with AGEMA Machines
The following advantages result from erosive machining and EDM Start Hole Drilling into carbide on an AGEMA EDM Machine.
High process reliability due to years of process optimization and experience
No influences on finished secondary areas
Minimal damage of the materialdue to low thermal impact in carbide, thus avoiding microcracks
High surface quality
Optimum flushing effect within the drilling hole due to low-viscosity dielectric




NON-DESTRUCTIVE GENERATION OF DRILLING HOLES
Through mineral oil as dielectric we achieve highest precision and quality in our eroding result in carbide: Our IME 56 dielectric is an extremely thin liquid dielectric with the lowest possible surface tension. The dielectric is particularly suitable for work in the finest finishing area with a small spark gap, e.g. for micro-bores and when eroding carbide and steel components in microelectronics.
A comparable surface quality is not possible with a deionized water machine.

Problems during the EDM process
Despite the maximum removal rate, structural changes and pitting should be avoided. Fundamental AGEMA concepts are high flashover strength, low viscosity, a good thermal conductivity and chemical stability even at the highest temperatures of the mineral oil-based dielectric. The use of this dielectric is only possible with the coordinated and gentle generator technology. Result: a comparable surface quality is not possible with a deionized water machine.
