EDM Blocks Hardened - Imperial Steel Size - Product Overview

As a Steel Supplier for Hardened EDM Blocks, we not only supply standard and stock products but also offer solutions tailored to your needs, to serve the technical and commercial requirements of our customers.

 

Hardened Imperial EDM Blocks are often subjected to extremely high loads, and no single steel offers properties such as maximum wear resistance, hardness, and toughness. Our Steel Portfolio includes the most common steel dimensions and Steel Grades to offer an optimal combination of properties and desired size for a specific application.

 

It can be very frustrating to search for the optimal EDM Block Steel Grade for all your applications. We’ve got the perfect solution for this.

WHAT DOES EDM BLOCK MEAN?

An EDM block is a piece of steel that is particularly well-suited for Electrical Discharge Machining. Electrical discharges occur between two electrodes, enabling material removal. With the metalworking process of spark erosion, even workpieces that are difficult to machine can be precisely processed.

Electrical Discharge Machining is also known as:

• Spark machining
• Spark eroding

• Die sinking
• Wire burning
• Wire erosion

HARDENED EDM BLOCK STEEL SELECTION

To find the right EDM Steel Blocks for your project, you can use two methods:

Method 1: Initial or proactive EDM Steel Selection

This method involves determining the extent to which the primary properties and dimensions the desired EDM Steel Block must have.

Method 2: Reactive EDM Steel Selection

With this method, the causes are determined after a failure or breakdown of the component and a suitable steel quality of EDM Steel is selected on the basis of the new required properties.
