✦ Synopsis

"In writing this book, the author focused on EDM fundamentals. These are the items common to all EDM machines, such as the spark, how the spark is controlled, what causes overcut, and the importance of the dielectric fluid. With regard to the workplace, covered are the affect the spark has on the metallurgy and how the surface finish is produced and controlled. The book also describes the development of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), the EDM system and process, the EDM sparking systems, the power supply (generator), spark voltage, electrode servo systems, di-electric systems, ionization and electrode wear, chips, the EDM surface, DC arcing, different kinds of EDM, autormatic servo systems operation, and electromagnetic radiation. It is the author's intent that this text will serve as the primer on the EDM process, allowing the people using EDM to become more efficient and the machines more productive."--Back cover.
