Carbon Steel EDM in Canada

Carbon steel is the workhorse of fabricated structure, and Canada has rolled it in the same Hamilton and Sault Ste. Marie mill towns for over a century, now shifting to lower-carbon electric-arc furnaces. EDM reaches what a cutter cannot, hardened steel, sharp internal corners, and deep fine cavities, which is why it anchors tool and die work, centered on Canada's mould-making capital in Windsor, Ontario.

The capability below reflects qualified Canadian shops that handle EDM in carbon steel.

Good to know

  • 1018 is the general-purpose choice; 4140 and tool steels where strength or wear resistance matter.
  • Wire EDM holds very tight tolerances on hardened material and sharp internal corners.
