Forming Taps is just a type of tap, with no chip removal groove and only oil groove in its shape. Most of them are titanium plated Forming Taps , specifically used for cutting threads on soft metal with smaller thickness.
Forming Taps is a new type of thread cutting tool that utilizes the principle of metal plastic deformation to process internal threads. Forming Taps extrusion internal threads is a chip free machining process, especially suitable for copper and aluminum alloys with low strength and good plasticity. It can also be used for tapping materials with low hardness and high plasticity, such as stainless steel and low-carbon steel, and has a long service life. Forming Taps are generally used in tapping machines, drilling machines, lathes, milling machines, and machining centers to process soft metal threads with smaller thicknesses. The correct selection of tap can ensure the quality of thread processing on the machine and ensure the smooth progress of the machine processing process. For different materials, different processing methods are used and different taps are selected.
Forming Taps is a type of tap without chip removal slots, which uses a plastic forming method to extrude the material being cut into a hole and form a thread. It will not generate chips or damage threads or taps due to chip blockage, making it suitable for processing with plastic materials.
Definition of Forming Taps: It is a tool for machining internal threads, with grooves along the axial direction. Also known as a tap. Taps are divided into Straight Flute Taps and Spiral Flute Taps according to their shape. Straight Flute Taps are easy to process, with low accuracy and high output. Generally used for thread processing on ordinary lathes, drilling machines, and tapping machines, the cutting speed is relatively slow. Spiral Flute Tap is mainly used for drilling blind holes in CNC machining centers. It has the advantages of fast processing speed, high accuracy, good chip removal effect, and good centering.
Accurate usage of Forming Taps:
1. When tapping, first insert the tap so that the center line of the tap is aligned with the center line of the drilling hole.
2. Rotate both hands evenly and apply slight pressure to feed the tap, without any further pressure after feeding.
3. Rotate the tap approximately 45 ° each time to cut off chips and avoid blockage.
4. If the tap cannot be rotated with difficulty without adding rotational force, otherwise the tap will break.
5. Accurately select a tap, such as using a threaded tap for through-hole processing and a kneading tap for blind hole processing.
