There is disclosed a method and apparatus for widening the field of application of electro-erosion machining techniques and for improving the conditions which arise in the work gap, this work gap being constituted by at least one tool electrode and at least one workpiece electrode and contains a liquid and/or gaseous medium. At least one generator is provided for delivering an operating voltage to the work gap. According to an important aspect of the present invention, a magnetic field is superimposed at the work gap upon the operating voltage, the magnetic lines of force of which magnetic field are situated essentially perpendicular to the erosion front. |
