<p>Composite electro-spark electrodes 10, along with methods of their use in an electro-spark deposition process, are provided. The composite electro-spark electrode 10 can include an electrode tip 12 that is mechanically and electrically attached to a shank 14. The shank 14 comprises a resistive material, and the electrode tip 12 comprises a metal, with the metal of the electrode tip 12 being less electrically resistive than the resistive material of the shank 14. Additionally, the metal of the electrode tip 12 can be more thermally conductive than the resistive material of the shank 14.
