Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is being seen as a novel technique for surface modification. How the process works, problems associated with it, electrode materials, wear and corrosion resistant ...

Just as practical nuclear fusion has been “only 20 years away” for the last 80 years or so, the promise of electrical discharge machining (EDM) in the home shop seems to always be just around ...

Wire EDM-short for wire electrical discharge machining-is a non-contact machining process that uses a thin, electrically charged wire to cut through metal. The wire never touches the workpiece.

The basic electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is relatively simple. An electrical spark is created between an electrode - an electrical conductor - and the item being machined.

Of all the methods of making big pieces of metal into smaller pieces of metal, perhaps none is more interesting than electrical discharge machining. EDM is also notoriously fussy, what with having … ...

He does this through the use of micro-electrical discharge machining, which is the process of finding a desired shape by forming the material using sparks. Once he is done, Chong identifies the ...

Gaze Upon the Black Magic of Electrical Discharge Machining Ever seen GIFs of metal parts fitting together so precisely that the boundaries between them seem to disappear? That's the joy of EDM.

How Does Electrical Discharge Machining Work? The EDM process uses electrical discharges to remove material from the workpiece, with each spark producing a temperature of between 10,000-20,000°C.
