Forming taps form the thread instead of cutting. This is a chip-free solution that is suitable for both through and blind holes. All materials are not suitable since there is need of certain ductility; recommended tensile strength limit is 1200 N/mm2. Forming taps are available with and without oil grooves.
Features
Chamfer C (2-3 threads) and chamfer E (1.5-2 threads). Chamfer E mainly used in blind holes with low clearance
High speed steel with cobolt taps for improved wear resistance
High speed powder steel taps for improved strength, wear resistance and tool life
Solid carbide taps for superior tool life and highest productivity
Three different coatings are available:
TiCN – used on our solid carbide forming taps. Combines low friction with high hardness
TiN – all-round coating with low friction
CrN – excellent for ISO N materials and low alloyed steel
Application
Taps optimized for specific materials and taps optimized for versatility
Suitable for both through holes and blind holes
Available in many thread forms and stan¬dards
Depths up to 3.5 × diameter
Available with internal coolant in thread forms M
Tolerances:
ISO N: 6H, 2B
Multi: 6G, 6GX, 6H, 6HX, 2B, 2BX
