Unit 20 TEXT READING MATERIAL Unit 20 TEXT The EDM Process It is known to every machinist that electrical energy is converted into motion by an electric motor on standard machine tools. Recently, we have discovered that electrical energy can be directly employed in metal removal. The main advantage is that metal of any hardness can be machined by electrical machining processes with good surface finish. Electrical discharge machining is a form of metal removal in which pulsating direct current is applied to a shaped tool (electrode) and a work-piece, both of which are capable of con
