The WAI Education Center’s recent two-part webinar on distinguishing high-quality wire dies from substandard ones featured expert insights from Hyperion Materials & Technologies.

The first session, “Differentiating High-Quality PCD Wire Dies,” explored carbide and PCD (polycrystalline diamond) fundamentals, highlighting issues like EDM cutting problems and cracks. See p. 50.

The second one, “Key Differentiators in Carbide Wire Dies,” focused on carbide materials with an interactive segment covering issues such as casing problems, breakage, cavities, and scratches.

The recorded webinars are now available on-demand through WAI’s learning platform. The educational resource is free to WAI members, a valuable member benefit. Registration for WAI webinars is $75 for non-members, making membership ($150/year) an attractive option for those interested in both sessions and seeking further discounts on training and events.
