Abstract
A wire electrode for machining a piece by electro-erosion includes a metallic core and a cladding having an alloy of manganese and zinc obtained by simultaneous electrolytic deposition at a thickness between 1 and 40 micrometers. The cladding permits a substantial increase of the machining, particularly rough machining, performance, a considerable deformability of the wire, a high resistance to traction and stability of the cladding over time.
