The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Material is removed from the work piece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between two electrodes, separated by a dielectric liquid and subject to an electric voltage.
- One of the electrodes is called the tool electrode, while the other is called the workpiece electrode, or workpiece.
- The electrode can be in any of several forms: when it is a wire, it is well suited to cutting a thin kerf, and the process is called wire EDM, when it is a block with a shape cut into it, it is well suited to diesinking and is called diesinking EDM.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Electrical discharge machining article was read about 69,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 68: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
How to get Electrical discharge machining
