As stated in the previous post, we're the Solarium Engineering team, and we're responsible for the Integrator Project's execution during our trimestral study course.
Regarding the study's object and how it will be made (brass wires' foundry), the search was first for the brass wire that will be used. The team has spoken to Carlos, SENAI CIMATECⒸ Metalography Area's employee, to check over the brass chemical analysis as a possibility, aiming the material's characterization. Besides, this pre-foundry analysis would be interesting for the material before and after the smelting process comparison.
However, considering the applied process shall not cause structural changes (only if inappropriate handling is considered), the team discarded this first analysis, and focused in the brass analysis after the eletroerosion wires' smelting.

As an alternative, we searched for information via wire's manufacturer, Intertechnik-EDMⒸ, from the EDMCUTⒸ brand. Without complete information access (therefore, not serviceable), it was estabilished contact with the company, awaiting for its response to progress the brass analysis. Meanwhile, the members will look for information in other sources in order to understand general smelting parameters for the brass.
Therefore, the next step (while waiting for the company's response) is to analyse the general existing zinc-copper alloys properties and compare to the material in study. Also, studying about machining for the test sample generation, aiming the used material's characterization, will be a pending topic for the progress.
We'll keep you in touch over our weekly progress!
Thanks for reading!
Best regards,
Solarium Engineering Team.
