Why you should consider Electro Discharge Machining
Advantages
- Tolerances of +/- 0.005 can be achieved
- Material hardness does not effect process – Tungsten Carbide – Stellite – Hastelloy – Nitralloy – Waspaloy – Nimonic – Inconel all can be successfully machined by EDM
- Cutting complex shapes and thin walled configurations without distortion
- EDM is a no-contact and no-force process, making it well suited for delicate or fragile parts that cannot take the stress of traditional machining
- The EDM process leaves no burrs
Disadvantages
- Only able to machine conductive materials
- More expensive process than conventional milling or turning
