Machine Tap DIN 376C M16x2mm HSS‑Co TiN (6H) – TECWERK

The Machine Tap DIN 376C M16x2mm HSS‑Co TiN (6H) is a Form C machine tap with a TiN coating, right‑hand 40° helix and a 12 mm shank, designed for producing ISO metric blind threads in medium‑strength steels.

• Cobalt HSS substrate for high toughness
• TiN coating for extended tool life
• ISO metric M16×2, tolerance 6H
• Optimised for blind holes in steels ≤1000 N/mm²

Consistent threads for blind‑hole applications

This tap is engineered for precise ISO metric threads in blind holes, where chip evacuation and thread integrity are critical. The combination of a right‑hand 40° helix and relieved flanks reduces chip packing in the root of the hole, so threads are formed cleanly and consistently. The DIN 376C Form C geometry is intended for machine tapping operations, enabling reliable positioning and repeatable results when fitted into a standard machine holder with the 12 mm shank.

Durable substrate and coating for longer service life

Manufactured from HSS‑Co (cobalt high‑speed steel) and finished with a TiN (titanium nitride) layer, the cutter resists wear under cyclic thermal and mechanical loads. The cobalt alloy core provides improved toughness over standard HSS, reducing chipping risk in interrupted cuts, while the TiN coating lowers friction and protects cutting edges. Together these features extend runtime between regrinds, supporting higher productivity and lower tool‑change frequency.

Precision fit and tolerance assurance

With tolerance field ISO2 (6H) and compliance with DIN 13 sheet 1, the tap guarantees thread accuracy for assembly and functional fits. The metric M16×2 profile meets common engineering standards, making the part suitable for components requiring standardised screw connections. Traceable manufacturing to the DIN references supports quality control processes and simplifies inspection routines in production environments.

Practical use and material suitability

Designed for blind‑hole threading in steels up to 1000 N/mm², this tool is appropriate for a broad range of general engineering and workshop tasks. The Form C design suits machine‑mounted tapping where axial runout and clamping are stable. Handling recommendations: ensure correct machine feed and suitable cutting fluid for the workpiece material to maintain edge life and thread finish. The 12 mm shank provides compatibility with common collet and chuck systems.

FAQ

What materials can be threaded with this tap?
The Machine Tap DIN 376C M16x2mm HSS‑Co TiN (6H) is specified for use in steels up to 1000 N/mm²; the HSS‑Co substrate and TiN coating improve performance in medium‑strength steels.

Is this tap suitable for through holes as well as blind holes?
While optimised for blind‑hole production, the DIN 376C Form C geometry will also perform in through‑hole operations, though chip evacuation behaviour differs.

Which tolerance can be expected from the threads?
Threads produced with this TECWERK tap conform to tolerance field 6H (ISO2), supporting standard assembly fits and interchangeability in metric systems.

What shank size is required for mounting?
The tap has a 12 mm shank, compatible with common collet and chuck holders used in machine tapping fixtures.
