Electrical discharge machining: History & Applications

Electrical discharge machining (EDM), also sometimes known as spark machining or spark eroding, is a metal cutting process whereby a desired shape is obtained by using electrical discharges (sparks). Material is removed from the work piece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between two electrodes, separated by a dielectric liquid and…
