EDM machining is ideal for complex shapes and extremely hard materials that are difficult to machine using conventional methods. The process uses controlled electrical discharges (sparks) to remove material, enabling:
Precision cutting of intricate cavities and contours
Machining of very hard or heat-sensitive materials
Tight tolerance features in small or deep components
At EadeTech, we specialize in Titanium, Nickel superalloys, and refractory metals, optimizing spark parameters, electrode design, and flushing to achieve the highest quality results.
