An
electrode wire used for spark
cutting of low-speed
wire cutting comprises an
electrode wire body. The
electrode wire body is composed of a core material and a surface
metal layer, wherein the core material is made of an alloying
brass material, and the surface
metal layer covers the core material. A
transition layer is arranged between the core material and the surface
metal layer. The alloying
brass material is composed of, by weight, 58.0-65.0% of
copper and the balance
zinc, a small quantity of adding elements and inevitable impurities. The surface metal layer is composed of
copper,
zinc, adding elements and inevitable impurities, wherein the
zinc content is larger than 52 wt% and smaller than 68 wt%, and the surface metal layer is distributed in a fracture shape longitudinally. Compared with the prior art, the electrode wire has the advantages that the manufactured electrode wire is stable in
discharge performance, the
cutting speed is increased, a wire feeding part and a guiding device of low-speed
wire cutting equipment are prevented from being damaged, a
machining technique of the electrode wire is simple, the application range is wide, the cost is low, and broad market prospects are achieved.
