We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Brass Wire",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release After sales service influenced wire EDM choice from
600 Centre, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two important factors influencing a toolroom's choice of replacement wire EDM machines were ultra-reliability and the standard of back-up and service from the supplier".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Brass rod continuously cast at lower cost from
Rautomead International: "Continuous casting of 8mm diameter brass rod eliminates several intermediate processes can be eliminated thus achieving a significant reduction in both the capital cost".
In October 2006, we covered the news from Weiler Corporation
concerning its Stem-Mounted brushes
- take a look at Extensive line of stem-mounted brushes
which says: "Weiler Corporation offers its line of Stem-Mounted brushes for a variety of applications, including cleaning and finishing recessed areas or internal diameters; die, mold and tool cleaning".
Take a look also at the news release from Agie Charmilles, Technology Days designed to raise EDM performance,
as well as EDM consumables, spares and advice offered from Agie Charmilles,
and Transition to lead-free soldering simplified from OK International.
