Special EDM wire
BZ-B wire
Special brass
Zinc content
increased
- ・Enhanced surface accuracy and processing speed due to the increased zinc-rich characteristic more than BZ-U
- ・Significantly reduced amount of brass adhesion on the cutting surface by increasing the amount of zinc
BZ-AT wire
Ultra-soft brass
- ・Particularly effective for taper cutting thanks to extreme softness achieved by special heat processing
- ・Shows the effect especially in wide-angle (20 to 45°) taper cutting.
