Cook ; editor, James P. Slayden N2 - Electrical discharge machining (edm) shapes metal by creating sparks that melt tiny portions of a workpiece. It is a diverse process that generates no cutting forces, allowing production of fragile parts that cannot take the stress of conventional machining. Examines the edm process and variables, components of an edm system, ram edm machines and operations, and wire edm machines and operations ER -
