This electrode type was especially developed for Japanese EDM machines. The series includes five different types:

MEGACUT® TYP A
[PDF technical data sheet]
This zinc-coated precision wire is used when fine surfaces are required. This wire is also recommended when cutting carbides and poly-crystalline diamond.

MEGACUT® TYP T [PDF technical data sheet]
This wire electrode is similar to MEGACUT® Type A but has reduced hardness, making it perfectly suitable for high tapering requirements. Because of this increased tapering capability, this wire will have limited automatic threading capability.

MEGACUT® TYP D
[PDF technical data sheet]
Due to its special coating, this electrode is ideal for speed cutting, providing the highest performance. This wire is also recommended for tall workpieces, interrupted cuts and poor flushing conditions.

MEGACUT® TYP HS [PDF technical data sheet]
This electrode is suited for the high-power generators of the latest machines and offers maximum cutting rates, making it ideal for high-speed production.

Type HS has a thicker coating than Type D in order to compensate for the increased consumption of the electrode during high speed cutting.

MEGACUT® TYP W [PDF technical data sheet]
This type has the highest elongation of the MEGACUT®-series. The "soft" electrode allows steep tapering. The special coating can resist thermal loads arising from poor flushing conditions.
