Soaring Travel Demand:Increased globalizationGrowing GDPLiberalization of air transportDecreasing travel prices
Ambitious targets to:Reduce hazardous emissionsBoost fuel efficiencyReduce aircraft weight.
By 2020, aircraft are to:Burn 50% less fuelEmit 50% less carbon dioxide (CO2)Emit 80% less mono-nitrogen oxidesReduce noise emissions by half
As a result, the aerospace value chain faces a constrained capacity scenario as production is expected to increase 45 percent (up to 70 percent) in the next two years.Immense Challenges in AerospaceGF MS NSC NOLA 2014

WEDM versus Broaching
Comparing machining costs associated with fir-tree slot production in LP turbine engines using WEDM and broaching
Preliminary cost analysis shows that WEDM is approximately 40% cheaper compared to broaching while maintaining similar productivity levels. In such a case, 5 units of WEDM are needed to reach the same productivity of 1 broaching machine.

Within Aerospace, EDM technology has typically been considered a taboo technology due to limitations within spark generators of the past, leaving recast layers of >3um.
Advances in GFAC generator technology ensure surface integrity in both Titanium and Inconel, with no visible recast layer or micro cracks after 4 trim cuts.
No blue discoloration in Titanium.
