Solid Carbide Taps

Key Features:
1. Full Carbide Construction
– Substrate:Premium-grade tungsten carbide with optimized cobalt content (6–12%) for balanced hardness and fracture resistance.
– Hardness: 1,500–2,200 HV (Vickers) to withstand abrasive and high-temperature conditions.

2. Advanced Geometry
– Thread Profiles: Precision-ground threads for ISO-compliant or custom forms (e.g., metric, UNC, UNF, NPT).
– Flute Design: 2–4 flutes with polished surfaces for efficient chip evacuation and reduced friction.
– Chamfered Leads: Smooth entry into workpieces, minimizing burrs and thread damage.

3. Coating Technology
– PVD Coatings: TiAlN, AlTiN, or TiSiN coatings (3–5 µm) for enhanced heat resistance (up to 1,000°C) and reduced built-up edge (BUE).
– Specialized Coatings: Custom options for extreme conditions, such as dry machining or corrosive environments.

4. Versatile Applications
– Materials: Steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, titanium, Inconel, composites, and hardened steels (up to 65 HRC).
– Operations: Through-hole and blind-hole threading, micro-threading (M1.0 and below), and high-speed tapping.

Benefits：
– High Precision: Achieve tight thread tolerances (H7–H9) and superior surface finish (Ra ≤ 1.6 µm).
– Extended Tool Life: Carbide substrate and coatings resist wear, reducing replacement frequency by 2–10x compared to HSS taps.
– Increased Productivity: Optimized for high-speed machining (up to 150 m/min in aluminum) and aggressive feed rates.
– Reduced Deflection: Solid carbide structure minimizes vibration, ensuring straight threads in deep-hole applications.
– Cost Efficiency: Longer lifespan and multi-material compatibility lower per-thread machining costs.

Available Configurations：
– Diameter Range: M1–M30 metric or imperial, with custom sizes available.
– Shank Types: Straight, cylindrical, or coolant-through shanks for compatibility with CNC toolholders.
– Specialized Designs:
– Spiral Flute Taps: For efficient chip evacuation in blind holes.
– Forming Taps: For ductile materials like aluminum and copper, producing chip-free threads.
– Micro-Taps:** Precision-ground for threads as small as M1.0×0.25.

Quality Assurance：
– Precision Grinding: CNC-ground threads ensure ±0.005 mm dimensional accuracy.
– Certifications: ISO 9001 compliance, with full traceability of materials and manufacturing processes.
– Testing: Rigorous performance validation in real-world machining trials.

Packaging & Logistics：
– Protective Packaging: Individually wrapped in anti-corrosion foam or shock-resistant tubes.
– Bulk Orders: Customizable kits for high-volume production needs.
– Lead Time: Standard sizes in stock; custom designs delivered in 2–4 weeks.

Industry Applications:
– Aerospace: Threading turbine blade cooling channels and high-temperature alloy components.
– Automotive: Engine block oil passages, aluminum housings, and EV battery components.
– Medical: Micro-threading for bone screws, implants, and surgical instruments.
– Energy: Threading deep-hole components for oil/gas tooling and turbine systems.

Solid Carbide Taps combine cutting-edge technology with robust design to tackle the most challenging threading tasks. Whether machining exotic alloys, hardened steels, or micro-components, these tools deliver unmatched accuracy, speed, and reliability.
