| 20100163529 | ELECTRODE WIRE FOR WIRE ELECTRODISCHARGE MACHINING, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACUTRING BASE WIRE FOR THE SAME - An electrode wire for wire electrodischarge machining includes a core made of copper or copper alloy, a pure zinc layer formed by hot-dip galvanizing the core, and a relatively thin copper-zinc alloy layer formed by mutual thermal diffusion across the interface between the pure zinc layer and the core and having a zinc concentration gradient. The electrode wire is not cracked during its production. | 07-01-2010 |
