Recently, an electrode wire capable of improving the electric discharge machining speed has been demanded as the machining power source is improved. In particular, an electrode wire capable of increasing the electric discharge machining speed is desired when a power source of a wire electric discharge machine that applies a high voltage and a short-time pulse voltage is used. However, it was not possible to obtain a sufficiently high EDM speed with the conventional EDM electrode wire using a brass wire. In addition, the amount of electrode wires attached to the work piece is large, and there is a drawback that the wires are easily broken when attempting electrical discharge machining at high speed. An object of the present invention is to provide an electrode wire for wire electric discharge machining, which can shorten the electric discharge machining time and which is hard for the electrode wire to adhere to a workpiece.

When Φ, the thickness of the coating layer is 0.02 × D or more, 0.2 × D
It has been found that the electric discharge machining characteristics are excellent when it is within the following range. The thickness of the coating layer is set to 0.02D or more and 0.2D or less because when it is less than 0.02D, the effect of improving the electric discharge machining characteristics is small, and when it exceeds 0.2D, the effect of improving the electric discharge machining characteristics is saturated. This is because. Furthermore, they have found that the thickness of the diffusion layer at the interface between the core material and the coating layer is preferably 5 μm or less. 5 μm or less is 5 μm
This is because if it exceeds m, not only the electric discharge machining characteristics deteriorate, but also the wire drawing machinability deteriorates. Here, there is no problem even if the coating layer is composed of two or more layers made of one kind of material or two or more kinds of different materials.

If it is less than 3%, the effect of improving the electric discharge machining characteristics is small,
This is because if it exceeds 49%, the effect will be saturated and it will be difficult to perform wire drawing to the product diameter.

It has been found that it exhibits excellent electrical discharge machining characteristics. Furthermore, in the electrode wire for wire electric discharge machining, the smaller the wire diameter, the better the surface quality of the surface to be machined. However, it cannot be said that the conventional materials have sufficient electric discharge machining characteristics when the wire diameter is less than 0.1 mm.

The obtained electrode wire is attached to a wire electric discharge machine, and electric discharge machining is performed under the same conditions. The electric discharge speed, the amount of adhesion to the work piece, the surface texture of the work piece, the disconnection state of the electrode wire, and the automatic The connectivity was investigated. Table 2 shows the results.
Shown in In addition, automatic wire connection means that when the electrode wire is broken during electric discharge machining in the wire electric discharge machine, a new electrode wire is automatically sent out to the winding device via the work piece. In order to be able to pass through the discharge location of the work piece, it is a necessary condition that the electrode wire becomes substantially straight when it is suspended. Further, for comparison, the same investigation was conducted on the conventional electrode wire, and the results are also shown in Table 2. The electrical discharge machining speed is calculated by the machining cross-sectional area per unit time (the product of the machining feed rate and the workpiece thickness), and then the wire EDM speed of the conventional material is 1.

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects. That is, it can be said that the electrode wire of the present invention has remarkably improved electric discharge machining characteristics (machining speed, surface properties, etc.) as compared with the prior art and is also excellent in automatic wire connection property. Further, when there is only one type of coating layer, it is relatively easy to manufacture and it is possible to manufacture it at such a low cost. Even if the coating layer has a plurality of layers, it is possible to improve the dischargeability by utilizing the gradient of the density of Zn. Furthermore, the core layer is coated with Z
Since the concentration of n is high, the electric discharge machinability is high. Further, since the wire material is obtained by plating the coating layer or hot extruding the wire, it is possible to obtain a wire having high strength and excellent straightness with no habit. Even if the wire diameter is less than 0.1 mm, there is an effect that excellent electric discharge machinability is exhibited.
