Shaping Precision for Over 50 Years
Erodex are specialists with global reach in the design and manufacture of EDM Electrodes, Die Sink Processes and fixturing for the aerospace and IGT sectors.
We were instrumental in the development of Fast Hole EDM technology for Film Cool Hole production with Rolls Royce and Amchem in the 1990s, and have since developed a world class range of brass and copper tube electrodes specifically for Film Cool.
Based across three UK sales and manufacturing sites, and our machining facility on the East Coast of the US, Erodex have been a trusted partner of Aerospace Primes, Machine Tool OEMs and the aerospace first tier supply chain for over 50 years.
Crafted With Precision.
100% Flow Testing:
No tube leaves the factory without first undergoing a thorough certification process to ensure that it meets the specific flow requirements unique to each individual tube, in accordance with our stringent quality control standards.
Cleaning:
Debris, oils, or moisture inside small-bore tubes can cause flow rate issues over time due to solidification and crystallization. This problem is exacerbated by the capillary effect within the tubes. To prevent this, Erodex cleans each tube three times after manufacturing using a specialized process developed for Fast Hole EDM equipment.
Surface Treatment:
Any oxidation of the tube surfaces will inhibit conductivity / spark erosion performance and flow rate over time. Unpredictable storage times and conditions (humidity levels) can cause problems for this type of tubing. As a result, a new treatment process has been developed that has eliminated such issues.
BRASS & COPPER.
Erodex Brass and Copper tubes are manufactured to the highest level of quality and go through a series of strict processes that ensure each tube not only conforms to the dimensional requirements, but is also free of debris which could impact the performance of the tube.
Technical issues with tubes can potentially only develop a number of months after manufacture and can significantly degrade quality.
Erodex believe that by ensuring all tubes follow a number of strict processes, overall quality and process stability can be greatly increased.

PRECISION WITHOUT LIMITS.
The first thing to know about Erodex is that we do not limit our customers to standard tube sizes or designs.
All Erodex copper and brass tubes can be personalised for diameter; bore; length; tolerance and form. Single bore, multi-channel, in all of the usual designs, and unique oval, square and rectangular shapes with a variety of internal structures…Erodex can support them all
Our Film Cool tubing range is 100% flow tested to ensure process stability within high volume production settings, and Erodex routinely work with customers to establish liquid flow parameters that we guarantee our tubes of any given size will fall within. Laid End to End our annual film cool tube production could reach into space, and return…almost 20 times. And not one tube needs to be selected from a list of standard parts.
PRECISION TUBING ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE.
BESPOKE GUIDES.
Like with our tubing, Erodex do not offer standard guides to our customers. We will make any guide to customer own drawing, or develop unique guides to suit customer specific needs.
Additional reach; small OD barrels; single point and multiple-point arrays, Erodex understand the importance of delivering the working electrode to spark point reliably and controllably, and have successfully supplied guide solutions on three continents. Our guides are controlled tightly for concentricity, where applicable and supplied ready to run from protective packaging.
PEAK PERFORMANCE BEYOND EXPECTATION.
Siemens Energy in Finspång, Sweden:
“
We have used Erodex brass tubes at Siemens Energy in Finspång, Sweden since I started working in 2009. During these 15 years, Erodex have provided a high quality product with the repeatability & consistency that our process demands. When testing against other suppliers, Erodex brass tubes have always proved to be superior for our process.
Jason Durrant, Siemens Energy Lincoln:
“
I have worked with Erodex Brass Tubes on various parts on our 5 axis FHD machines for more than 6 years. In that time, Erodex have provided Siemens Energy with a reliable and consistent product. During our long-standing partnership, all urgent requirements have been dealt with swiftly and professionally as not to impact production.
ITP Aero UK:
“
We have used Erodex brass tubes at ITP Aero UK for the manufacture of combustor components for many years and have always been satisfied with the consistent quality and fair pricing. We never have instances of quality issues such as blocked or damaged electrodes and have always found Erodex respond quickly to new requests for electrode tube products.
