We had a batch of 200 EDM electrodes come back from CNC machining. The first 50 looked perfect. By piece 120, they started missing dimensional spec — 10.05 mm instead of 10.00 mm. By 180, half were scrap. Tool wear. The CNC spindle had drifted, and by the time we caught it, 40% of the […]
Graphite slicing yield is the percentage of raw billet material that becomes usable finished wafers after slicing. It is the single most important metric for evaluating slicing efficiency — and the one that directly connects process quality to production cost. A typical graphite slicing yield ranges from 45% to 80%, meaning 20–55% of the billet

Graphite slicing kerf loss is the material destroyed by the cutting element during every pass through a graphite billet. It becomes swarf — not product. In precision slicing operations, graphite slicing kerf loss can consume 30–50% of the original billet depending on blade type and process parameters, making it the single largest source of material

Every precision graphite plate starts as a clean cut. But between the wire entering the block and the finished plate arriving at inspection, multiple things can go wrong. Edge chipping. Surface scratches. Micro-cracks. Breakage. Each defect has a specific cause, and each cause has a fix — if you know where to look. Graphite slicing

Introduction Isostatic graphite is a high-performance material widely used in industries such as semiconductors, aerospace, and EDM due to its fine grain, isotropic structure, and excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. However, machining this material requires exceptional precision. Traditional cutting tools often struggle with edge chipping and high material waste. In this article, we explore how
