About EDM Electrode Materials

EDM electrode materials and components consist of highly conductive and/or arc erosion-resistant materials such as graphite, copper or copper graphite. EDM is an acronym for electric discharge machining, a process that uses a controlled electrical spark to erode metal. EDM electrode materials include components made from brass, copper and copper alloys, graphite, molybdenum, silver, and silver tungsten. 


Products & Services Related to EDM Electrode Materials

Electrical Brushes and Brush Materials
Electrical brushes and brush materials are used in conjunction with slip rings, commutators or other contact surfaces to maintain an electrical connection in rotary and linear sliding contact applications.
Electrical Contact and Electrode Materials
Electrical contact and electrode materials are soft, high conductivity, oxidation resistant materials used in circuit breakers, relays, and for EDM applications.
Electrical Contacts and Contact Materials
Electrical contacts and contact materials are soft, high-conductivity, oxidation- resistant materials that are used in circuit breakers, relays, switches, and electrical discharge machining (EDM) applications.  They often have a second phase in order to provide anti-welding and/or arc resistance.
