FIELD: metal working. SUBSTANCE: wire electrode is made in the form of a core with a coating. The core preferably consists of material with a good conductivity (for example, copper, brass, bronze, steel with a copper shell, etc. ). The coating can consist of a layer of material with a low vaporization temperature (for example, zinc, cadmium, lead, antimony, bismuth, graphite or their alloys) and/or a layer of material with a high conductivity selected from the following series; silver, gold, rhodium, palladium, iridium or alloys of these materials. The layer of material with a high conductivity forms the coating external layer, 0.02 to 0.8 microns thick. EFFECT: facilitated procedure. 2 cl
