The invention relates to a high-accuracy
zinc base
alloy electrode wire. Components in a shell layer comprise, by weight, 70.5%-95% of Zn, 2.5%-27% of Cu, 0.02%-4.0% of X, 0.002%-0.4% of Y and inevitable impurities brought in by raw materials. X is any two kinds of
metal from Ni, Ag, Cr, Si and Zr, the content ranges of the two kinds of
metal are both 0.01%-2.0%, Y is any two kinds of elements of Ti, Al, Co, B and P, and the content range of the two elements are both 0.001%-0.2%. The epsilon phase content in the shell layer structure is over 80% by weight, the balance is a gamma phase or an eta phase, and epsilon phases are evenly distributed on the surface of core materials. Meanwhile, the invention relates to a preparing method of the
electrode wire. Compared with the prior art, a
metal workpiece subjected to
cutting processing by the
electrode wire is high in
surface smoothness and good in surface quality, accordingly,
cutting accuracy is high, meanwhile, the electrode wire preparing technology is simple,
operability is high, the number of manufacturing steps is small, and large-scale and automatic production can be achieved easily.
