Which electrodes to use when burning away your broken taps and tools.
Electrode choice for broken tap remover,
NOVIMAX Metal Disintegrators and Spark Erosion Machines can use any material that conducts electricity as an electrode. However, different materials offer varying levels of efficiency in the process. It is important to use an electrode material that adapted for the job and the work piece.
Cupper Electrodes
Materials with low melting points, such as copper, erode as rapidly as the work material, requiring frequent replacement, which adds to your cost. But the burning will go very fast due to the good conductivity of copper/brass. Copper electrodes will get hot. With heat they can bend and warp damaging the hole.
Molybdenum Electrodes
It is important to use an electrode material that breaks down less than the work piece to have a long electrode life. Materials with low melting points, such as copper, erode as rapidly as the work material, requiring frequent replacement. Due to their high melting temperature Molybdenum electrodes outperforming other electrode materials.
Graphite Electrodes
Graphite has several advantages over other materials. It is resistant to thermal shock. It is the only material in which mechanical properties increase with temperature. It has a low CTE for geometrical stability. It is easily machined. It does not melt but sublimes at very high temperature (3,400ºC), and finally, its density is lower (five times less than copper) which means lighter electrodes. Graphite removes material better than copper or copper-tungsten while wearing slower. The wear rate tends to diminish as the discharge increases, unlike copper, whose wear increases at higher currents. Therefore, graphite is suited for the machining of large electrodes since working with a high current intensity provides decreased roughing time.
Although graphite is prone to abnormal discharge, this can be eliminated through quality flushing, and lowering the intensity of discharge during negative polarity machining. However, as a result of this tradeoff, machining tungsten carbides is more difficult than with copper-tungsten electrodes. Also, since graphite is a ceramic, it is sensitive to mechanical shock, and consequently must be handled and machined with care.
Advantages or our NOVIMAX
Advantages:
- Lightweight, small, compact table top design.
- High speed and efficient, low operating costs.
- Easy to use, easy removal of broken taps or other tools.
- After sparking out the midpoint of the tap, or in case of big taps, one shoulder of the tap, it is possible to remove taps of standard sizes M2 - M70. If the electrode is modified in a lathe, possible to remove even bigger taps. After you remove the rest of the tap from thread hole, the thread hole will stay undamaged.
- Uses ordinary tap water as a dielectric. The device can be used directly on the machinery without the need for an external clamped work piece. When used directly on the machine, it uses the coolant emulsion of the machine as a dielectric.
- Uses standard brass rods as electrodes. Ordinary copper rods can also be used.
- Easy to work with large work pieces.
- Removes taps easily without damaging the threads.
- Automatic feed into the Z axis to set the desired depth up to 70 mm.
- Electrode holder till 13mm diameter
- Depth adjustment (depth automatically stops at defined point).
- Selectable shutdown time for accidental short circuiting.
- Optional automatic extraction of the electrode from the hole for the set depth.
- Depth adjustment check indicator, short circuiting indicator, overheat indicator.
- Spark check indicator.
- Possible to use for hole drilling in EDM wire cutters.
- Possible to hole drilling into the sintered carbides (tungsten carbides), other heavily machinable steels and any conductive materials.

Spark Eroder, Spark Burner or Spark Disintegrator or Metal Disintegrators
Our Novimax metal disintegrators are sometimes referred to as Spark Eroders. This is a common term used throughout Europe However, spark eroders produce sparks in the application and metal disintegrators do not. So spark eroders are the machines that are used in the electric discharge machining field.
Metal Disintegrator
Metal disintegrators are primarily used for bolt removal, tap removal, stud removal, drill removal and seized or broken bolts. The process can also be used for roll marking or branding for rebar identification, tool and die work and metallurgical core sampling. The cutting action of a metal disintegrator is accomplished by creating a series of intermittent electric arcs that break down the hardest metals into minute particles. An electrode, held in the head of the disintegrator, vibrates as it cuts while coolant is pumped through the electrode to wash away the powdered metal.
Metal disintegrators or Metal Disintegration Machining (May be abbreviated as MDM in the machining industry) are primarily used for bolt removal, tap removal, stud removal, drill removal and seized or broken bolts. Other terms used to describe these machines include bolt eater, tap zapper and stud buster.
Difference between MDM and EDM
Metal Disintegrators or MDM machines (Metal Disintegrating Machines) are manufactured for the specific purpose of removing broken tools from work pieces. The metal disintegration process removes a tap, bolt or drill leaving the hole intact and allowing a part to be reclaimed.
The difference between MDM and EDM is speed, cost and accuracy. MDM removes material very fast. MDM uses a spark erosion process commonly used for destructive cutting. Typical application includes broken tool extraction (taps, drills, reamers, drill bits) metallurgical sample excavation and bolt removal. There is no faster or efficient or cost effective method to remove broken tools, studs or fasteners than MDM.
Using an EDM to remove broken tooling is possible, but it is more time-consuming, the equipment cost more and has limitations. First, the part has to be small enough to fit in the dielectric fluid container. Second, an die sinking EDM machine will take hours to extract a 20mm tap, where an MDM will take just minutes. Third, the MDM process does not require submersion of the part. Lastly, die sinking EDM machines are significantly more expensive than MDMs and tying up an expensive production machine with tooling extraction could be costly.
