Description

Patended Gammaphase wire electrode Hybrid Leo with Cracking Surface 500 or 900 N/mm²

The “leopard” among the erosion wires – differs from conventional coated products in the composition of the wire surface: In contrast to zinc-coated wire electrodes, Hybrid Leo has an “alloy” with a higher zinc than copper content, which is applied to brass core wires by diffusion annealing.

This results in the unique patented cracking surface for optimum rinsing performance. This makes Hybrid Leo the perfect combination of very high cutting performance potential with high accuracy and good surfaces.

Compared to conventional coated wire, Leo can convince with up to 30% more speed.

Core material: CuZn 35
Cover material: CuZn with increased Zn content

Advantage Hybrid Leo:

• • Very good and high abrasion resistance
  • Excellent cutting accuracy
  • High process reliability
  • Up to 30 % higher cutting speeds compared to bare wire
  • Ideal for automatic threading
  • cracking surface

Increased tensile strength due to rapid cooling

Cracking wires with pores on the surface contact more cooling water due to their enlarged
surface area and cool down faster than the existing non-porous wires.
This allows cracking wires much faster cutting speed.

The available diameters, tensile strengths and bobbin sizes are shown in the following table.
