Abstract
A precision molded electrical discharge machining electrode is made by shaping a preform from granules of carbon and granules of a refractory material selected from the group consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, carbides thereof, and stoichiometric and hyperstoichiometric carbides of the other elements of the groups IVB, VB, and VIB of the Periodic Table of the Elements, the carbon and refractory granules being interconnected in the form of a skeleton at their contiguous points of contact, and infiltrating the preform with copper, silver, or alloys containing those metals.
