Thus, the same machining accuracy can be obtained with one size larger SP wire, along with a much faster cutting speed.<\/li>\n<li>Abrasion of wire guides<br \/>\nSince SP wire is flexible and has a soft and smooth surface, abrasion of the wire guides (electrified pins, guide rollers, etc.) of ED machines is far less than that with tungsten wire, reducing operating costs.<\/li>\n<li>Automatic wire joining<br \/>\nSP wire has excellent free cast and straightness, allowing a high rate of automatic wire joining.<\/li>\n<li>Longer continuous length<br \/>\nSP wire provides a longer continuous length per reel: 5,000m\/reel, 10,000m\/reel and 20,000m\/reel, while that of tungsten wire is 3,000 &#8211; 5,000m\/reel. Thus, longer continuous operation and higher productivity can be achieved.<\/li>\n<li>Surface stability<br \/>\nUnlike tungsten wire, SP wire is invulnerable to surface oxidation. Remaining wire can therefore be used again easily.<\/li>\n<li>HOMO phenomenon<br \/>\nThe HOMO phenomenon, an unstable ED caused by the short-circuit, that occurs when cutting a tungsten-containing work piece (e.g., tungsten carbide) with a tungsten wore, does not occur with SP wire.<\/li>\n<li>Cost performance<br \/>\nIn addition to the excellent properties above, SP wire is far less expensive than tungsten wore, providing an excellent cost performance<\/li>\n<li>An easy method for setting cutting conditions<br \/>\nTo find the optimum cutting conditions for SP wire, first set the cutting conditions for a brass wire electrode having a diameter equal to SP wire. Then gradually increase the wire tension until the SP wire breaks. The optimum tension is that just before breakage.<br \/>\nYou may also be able to obtain SP wire cutting condition data from ED machine manufacturers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SP Strong like tungsten Conductive like Brass Less Cost Available from 0.03mm SP wire is a hybrid electrode wi [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":39,"menu_order":206,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-88","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.askacorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.askacorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.askacorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.askacorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.askacorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"http:\/\/www.askacorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":486,"href":"http:\/\/www.askacorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88\/revisions\/486"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.askacorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/39"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.askacorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
