Copper Electrode (Copper EDM Electrode) — Technical Reference (Consolidated & Revised Edition)
1.Overview & Definition
A "copper electrode" (also referred to as an EDM electrode or "copper pole" in industry practice) is the discharge medium used in electrical discharge machining (EDM) for mold manufacturing. It is primarily applied to the precision forming of cavity surfaces and other intricate mold features.
2.Core Function:
Acts as a "shaping tool" that transfers the designed geometry onto the mold steel through electrical erosion.
Naming Origin: It is commonly called "copper electrode" because it is predominantly made of pure copper (red copper) due to its excellent conductivity and machinability.
3.Basic Workflow: Product drawing → Mold design drawing → Electrode splitting → CNC machining of electrode → EDM machining of the mold → Finished product.
