In aerospace machining, materials are hard and often refractory and when it comes to engines, hot sections and turbine components, the problems are multiplied.
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) uses electrical discharges to power through tough materials, making it an ideal solution for such applications.
In the video interview above, we speak with Mark Emerson, president of ONA EDM USA, about facing honeycomb seals, surface finish, electrode-friendly materials, machinable materials with EDM, training and the company’s ONA QX4, die sinking EDM machine.
