Abstract

Abstract An improved electric discharge machining fluid permitting rapid removal of metal, particularly in the case of difficulty machined cast iron. The electric discharge machining fluid comprises a major proportion of an oil and a minor proportion of an oilsoluble aliphatic amine containing about 10 to 50 carbons. The preferred electric discharge machining fluid comprises a hydrocarbon oil and an oil-soluble aliphatic primary monoamine containing about 12 to 25 carbons.
