Abstract
Two major factors have contributed to the evolution of electrical discharge machining (EDM) from a toolroom to a production process. Firstly, the aircraft industry had a requirement for the high‐volume manufacture of precision components using the “exotic”, difficult‐to‐machine materials such as Hastelloy, Nimonics, titanium, etc. Secondly, advanced innovative systems developed by Amchem Co. Ltd., Sileby. Leicestershire, provided the capability of high productivity, with economies in space and manpower.
