Product Description
Tapping carbide taps are cutting tools used to create internal threads in hard and abrasive materials such as titanium, stainless steel, and cast iron. Carbide is a durable material that can withstand high temperatures and wear, making it suitable for tapping hard materials.
Carbide taps have a specialized design with a series of cutting edges that gradually widen the pre-drilled hole, creating precise and smooth internal threads. The taps are typically used with a tapping machine or hand tool, and the cutting process is achieved through a combination of rotary and axial movement.
When using carbide taps, it's important to use the correct cutting fluid to reduce friction and heat buildup. Carbide taps require a different cutting fluid than standard high-speed steel taps, and it's important to select the appropriate fluid for the specific material being tapped.
Carbide taps are available in different types, including straight flute, spiral point, and spiral flute. Straight flute taps are suitable for threading through holes, while spiral point and spiral flute taps are designed for threading blind holes.
Proper maintenance of carbide taps is important to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Regular cleaning and inspection of the taps, along with proper storage and handling, can help prevent damage and extend their useful life.
