Electrical Discharge Machining. There is some limited use of EDM to produce rifling in gun barrels. However, EDM technology is more frequently used to make dies that will be installed in manufacturing machines. EDM is especially useful in the fabrication of tungsten carbide dies. Tungsten carbide is harder than steel.

Electrical discharge machining process works on the basic principle of spark generation and metal removed by spark erosion. EDM spark erosion is same as electric spark which burn a small hole in a piece of metal through witch it contacts. The spark generated by this process produces heat, which remove metal by erosion and evaporation.
