Electronic Disintegration
Electronic Disintegration is a process in which any metal that conducts electricity can be removed precisely. The hardness (i.e. Rockwell or Brinell) does not matter. Harder material just means the job may require more consumables such as electrodes. Electrodes are made most commonly from Molybdenum and Graphite. We have the capability to plunge ¼" to ½" square holes and round holes from .020 to .500 diameters. Many other shapes such as Hexagons, rectangles, triangles, letters and numbers are also available. It is also possible to slit using a slitting electrode.

Most metals can be removed, examples listed below but not limited to:

  • All types of Carbon Steels
  • Carbides
  • All types of Stainless Steel
  • Monels or Nickel Alloys
  • Titanium
  • Inconels
  • High Speed Tool Steel (i.e. drill bits, taps, E-Z outs, reamers, end mills, etc)
  • Manganese
  • Clad Carbon Steel

Electronic Disintegration can also be used for Metallurgical Core Sampling. Because this process does not damage the part with heat this makes it ideal for Metallurgical Sampling.
