Die Sinking

What is die sinking?

Die sinking owes its name to the specially shaped electrode that sinks into the material. This electrode acts as a three-dimensional stamp during the machining process, which can apply even the smallest details with great depth. The machined material is washed away during the process.

Die sinking falls under the category of spark machining techniques and can produce extremely precise shapes. Even with sharp internal angles, blind contours can be made in any conceivable shape, no matter how complex. High process reliability can be guaranteed by always replacing the electrode promptly.

Advantages of die sinking

An advantage of machining methods such as die sinking is the extreme accuracy during manufacturing. Because wear is prevented by prompt replacement of the electrode, the computer-controlled machining process is extremely precise, and it is possible to erode a variety of materials.

These include iron alloys such as steel, aluminum, carbide, and copper. The speed of the machining process is generally high but is partly determined by the melting point of each material type. The largely unmanned nature of die-sinking technology ensures manageable costs compared to other techniques.
