Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) uses the discharge from an electrode to cut metal. There are two main types of EDM: wire and ram. With wire EDM, the electrode is a thin wire typically made of brass or other alloys. With ram EDM, the electrode is a specially shaped piece of graphite or copper

Copper EDM Electrodes
EDM electrodes and materials (wire or tube) are used in (EDM), a process that removes metal with an electrical discharge of very short duration and high current density between the electrode and the workpiece. Copper is often used to manufacture electrical discharge machining (EDM) electrodes

Advanced Manufacturing: Rapid Roughing of Tough Materials
, and engine complexity. Blisks are usually roughed-out by CNCs, electrochemical milling (ECM), or electrical-discharge machining (EDM), and then hand polished. A more recent and faster roughing approach comes from so-called "blisk" machines that combine processes similar to ECM and EDM
