Electrical discharge machining(EDM), also known asspark machining,spark eroding,die sinking,wire burningorwire erosion, is a metal fabrication process whereby a desired shape is obtained by using electrical discharges (sparks).[1]Material is removed from the work piece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between twoelectrodes, separated by adielectricliquid and subject to an electricvoltage. One of the electrodes is called the tool-electrode, or simply thetoolorelectrode, while the other is called the workpiece-electrode, orwork piece. The process depends upon the tool and work piece not making physical contact. Extremely hard materials like carbides, ceramics, titanium alloys and heat treated tool steels that are very difficult to machine using conventional machining can be precisely machined by EDM.[2]
