Advantages of EDM

(Advantages of EDM)

EDM machining has many advantages, including the ability to cut tough materials without additional tools or post-processing. In addition, the process is extremely accurate, fast, repeatable, and predictable.

Wire EDM

Electrical discharge machining (EDM), also called wire erosion, spark machining or wire burning, is one of the most effective and affordable ways to cut hard materials that are not readily machined using conventional machining processes. It is often used to produce complex shapes and patterns, including holes and contours on difficult-to-machine metals.

Small Hole Drilling

Another form of EDM is known as small hole drilling or slitting EDM, which is a highly accurate and effective method of creating microscopic orifices on a variety of products including fuel system components, spinnerets for synthetic fibers, and more. It is especially useful for cutting high-temperature, single crystal alloys used in turbine blades for jet engines.

advantages of edm

The main advantage of edm is its ability to cut difficult-to-machine metals, including hard tool steel and tungsten carbide. It is also ideal for producing precision parts, such as internal gears and miniature parts.

It is easy to apply edm to a wide range of materials, including conductive materials. This is because a thin wire is used as an electrode to craft desired shapes.

The work piece and the electrode are separated by a gap called the spark gap. The electric discharges created by the wire pass through the workpiece, erode it on the focused areas and remove metal. Dielectric fluids then carry away any removed metal or tool particles from the area. The result is a product that has a smooth surface finish that meets the requirements of the application.
