Zinc-Coated Brass Wire

Product Information

We source our wire from Georg Fischer, known for their high quality EDM consumables. The following list
contains all types of brass wire that we offer, along with their characteristics. Zinc coated brass wire gives
the best surface finish quality, with high surface homogeneity.

Product Lines

  • Standard Wire: high quality wire for general purpose industrial applications.
  • Compliant Product Series: entry-level wire held to a less stringent precision standard for
    affordability.
  • Micro Wire: similar quality to standard wire but in smaller diameters for specialized applications.

    • AC Cut A

    Characteristics

  • Precision zinc-coated brass wire.
  • Surface roughness < Ra 0.1 μm.
  • Highest precision on geometrical details and part parallelism.
  • Recommended applications include molds, cutting tools, and general mechanical parts.
  • Ideal for applications requiring fine surface finish.
