* When ordering material for Wire-EDM, specify on order. We have developed a special process that, when used in conjunction with our BC-12C grade, is guaranteed against cracking. (We will process any of our grades for Wire-EDM. Ask one of our engineers to explain the process.) Note: the BC-12C guarantee is prorated for large blocks cut to form smaller components.
