Abstract

A method of fabricating multiple parts, especially multiple metal parts which are later joined to form an assembly such as a three piece jet engine mounting link assembly with triple load bearing redundancy, from a single workpiece by cutting the workpiece along two mutually perpendicular axes, preferably with an electrical discharge machining (EDM) wire, and electropolishing recast surfaces formed on the parts by the EDM cutting operation.
