1. What are the advantages of using EDM over traditional machining methods?

EDM offers several advantages, including the ability to machine hard materials, produce intricate and complex shapes, achieve high precision and tight tolerances, and eliminate mechanical stress on the workpiece.

K
L

2. What is the difference between Wire EDM and Sinker EDM?

Wire EDM uses a thin wire to cut through the material, making it ideal for creating complex shapes and contours. Sinker EDM, on the other hand, uses a shaped electrode to "sink" into the material, making it suitable for creating cavities and intricate details in the workpiece.

K
L

3. What are the typical applications of EDM?

EDM is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, electronics, and tool and die making. Typical applications include producing molds, dies, complex aerospace components, precision surgical instruments, and intricate electronic parts.

4. What are the limitations of EDM?

The main limitations of EDM include slower material removal rates compared to traditional machining, the requirement for the workpiece to be conductive, and potential surface finish issues if not properly controlled.

K
L

5. How does EDM affect the surface integrity of the workpiece?

EDM can produce a heat-affected zone (HAZ) on the surface of the workpiece, which may affect the material properties. However, modern EDM machines and techniques can minimize these effects and produce high-quality surface finishes.

K
L

6. What factors influence the accuracy and quality of EDM machining?

Several factors influence the accuracy and quality of EDM machining, including the electrical parameters (such as voltage, current, and pulse duration), the quality and condition of the electrodes, the dielectric fluid, and the machine's precision and stability.
