Minimizing wear of EDM electrode in machining a hard material

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is extremely being used in manufacture of aerospace and automotive parts, also used in development of dies and molds by machining and cut the materials that are strong and hard, which impossible to be machined by traditional machining techniques. However, the mai...
