Manufacturing to close tolerances in hard or delicate material can be difficult. Exotic materials such as stainless steel, Inconel, titanium, Monel, Hastelloy, Waspaloy and others offer unique challenges to machining. In these situations, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is often the answer. Small internal radii, a recessed cut, intermittent cuts, angle cuts and complex shapes are all easier using EDM. EDM equipment vaporizes material rather than cutting it. The vaporized material is flushed away and leaves no burr. As there is no force, no contact and no deformation, very thin walls are not a problem. Accuracy that is difficult to hold and maintain after heat-treating and stress relieving can also be achieved. EDM is a great manufacturing method for hardened materials, exotic metals, and fragile parts that can't take the stress of mechanical machining. The material must be electrically conductive or semi-conductive with no non-conductive cutting zones.
