Graphite electrodes are usually 30-100 mm high and require complex contours to be machined. The difficulty often lies in the fact that only thin, widely projecting tools can be used for machining. A wire is the perfect tool for this, as it does not project, but is tensioned on both sides and very thin (approx. 1 mm).

The control of surface roughness in micro-milling of graphite electrodes is needed for achieving high quality of electro-discharge machined molds. The tool deflection in micro-milling of ultrafine grain graphite is drastically lower in comparison to micro-milling of hardened tool steel due to lower cutting forces. Therefore, micro-end-mills with higher aspect ratios are often used. In this ...
