Machine tap DIN 371B VA M10×1.5 HSS‑Co, nitrided & vapour‑deposited, 6H (TECWERK)

The Machine tap DIN 371B VA M10×1.5 HSS‑Co is a straight‑fluted industrial tap engineered for through‑hole metric threading in high‑strength, corrosion‑resistant and heat‑resistant steels.

• HSS‑Co high‑performance cutting steel
• Nitrided and vapour‑deposited coating
• Straight flutes with ISO2 (6H) tolerance

Consistent thread accuracy for assembly reliability

The tap delivers ISO2 (6H) tolerance and conforms to DIN 13 Sheet 1, providing a predictable fit for metric fastenings and reducing rework in serial production. Because the geometry and tolerance class are aligned with international standards, the tool supports reliable assembly processes and interchangeability of threaded parts. The applied tolerance class means threads meet tighter dimensional limits than ordinary taps, which is especially important where gasket seating or press‑fit alignment is required. This precision contributes directly to lower scrap rates and fewer rejects across repetitive machining tasks.

Enhanced tool life through advanced materials and surface treatment

Manufactured from HSS‑Co (cobalt high‑speed steel) and finished by nitriding and vapour deposition, the cutting edges resist wear and retain hardness under thermal load. The surface treatment improves resistance to adhesion and micro‑welding when cutting stainless and heat‑resistant steels, extending cutting intervals between tool changes. The blue identification ring simplifies tool management on the shop floor. These material and coating choices yield a cost‑effective balance between cutting performance and lifetime, translating into fewer tool changes and more predictable production planning.

Geometry optimised for through‑hole threading and chip control

The straight‑flute design combined with a purpose‑made shear cutting chamfer for through threads encourages controlled chip formation and evacuation in long through‑hole operations. Flanks that are relief‑ground reduce friction and the risk of seizing in sticky stainless alloys, while the shank profile supports stable engagement in machine holders. For machine tapping setups, this geometry helps maintain spindle load stability and reduces the likelihood of tap breakage, making the tool suitable for series machining where repeatability is essential.

Applications, handling and process integration

Suitable for machining corrosion‑resistant, acid‑resistant and heat‑resistant steels with tensile strengths above 850 N/mm², this tap supports demanding alloys commonly used in chemical, energy and high‑temperature components. The tool is intended for machine tapping operations and features a shank diameter of 10 mm for direct mounting or adapter use in standard tool holders. For process planning, the tap’s construction allows predictable tool life and machining parameters, aiding cycle time calculations and reducing downtime. If uncertainties remain about compatibility with a specific alloy or machine, Metav’s technical advisers can supply cutting data and application guidance.

FAQ

What materials is the tap suitable for?
The tap is designed for corrosion‑resistant, acid‑resistant and heat‑resistant steels, and is specified for use with materials of tensile strength above 850 N/mm².

Is this tool suitable for machine tapping rather than hand tapping?
Yes, the TECWERK machine tap is intended for machine use; the 10 mm shank supports secure clamping in standard machine holders.

What standard and tolerance does the tap meet?
The machine tap conforms to DIN 13 Sheet 1 for metric ISO threads and is manufactured to the ISO2 tolerance class (6H) for precise thread fit.

How does the surface treatment benefit production?
The nitrided and vapour‑deposited finish reduces wear and adhesive build‑up when tapping stainless and heat‑resistant steels, improving tool life and process stability.
