Electro discharge machining (EDM) utilizing transferred arc plasma is widely accepted for the drilling or the molding of metals. In the present study, a new type of EDM system employing a composite electrode fabricated a narrow and deep hole (diameter: 0.70 mm, depth: 150 mm) in a steel block. The composite electrode consisted of a metal rod encased in a dielectric pipe jacket. The dielectric jacket...
