Hone/Polish Technologies for interior EDM profiles
Hone/Polish Technologies for interior EDM profiles
(OP)
Hello,
I am new to this forum and from reading past posts, there is a great deal of knowledge to be had from here.
I have come up dry though on how to finish the interior surface of a tool that has been cut with a wire EDM. The tool is used for ram extrusion of plastc. The small cross section of the profile makes it hard if not impossible to condition the surface. This has led us in the past to just be complacent with whatever finish the EDM was capable providing and I am trying to correct this. This finish was typically around a 32. If there is any other information that would be helpful, just let me know.
Any knowledge would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

We use this approach on numerous die components used in Nylon production and molding

I will have to look into it. I have also sent samples out to have them extrude honed to see how this affects the surface.
