High-performance thread forming in metal

This HSS-E forming tap with a metric 60° profile and high-quality TiAlN coating is designed to create process-reliable internal threads using a chipless method. The sturdy design and the alloyed high-speed steel enable reliable cold forming, which keeps the material grain flow intact, thereby supporting high-strength thread constructions. The tool is a well-thought-out solution for daily serial production in modern machining technology.

Applications

This HSS-E forming tap was developed for the efficient production of internal threads without chip formation. It is widely used in mechanical engineering, batch production, and general metalworking. The tool geometry and the TiAlN coating open up flexible application possibilities in structural steel, tempered steel, stainless steel, as well as in wrought and cast aluminum alloys, copper, and brass.

Special features

Chipless thread forming strengthens the material structure through cold working and creates good prerequisites for highly resilient connections. The wear-resistant TiAlN coating significantly reduces friction and supports extended usability, even with demanding materials. The robust high-speed steel (HSS-E) provides the necessary toughness to withstand the high torques encountered during the forming process, thereby ensuring efficient workflows.
