Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a controlled metal-removal process, having two electrodes (one being the work piece) separated by a dielectric liquid that is used to remove metal by means of electric spark erosion. The electric spark is used as a cutting tool to cut the work piece to produce the finished part of desired shape. This is followed by a pulsating electric charge of high frequency, which removes tiny pieces of metal from the work piece at a controlled rate. Read this post... Read more
