Take advantage of the combination of HSS‑Co substrate for consistent cutting performance, TiCN coating for extended wear resistance and the ISO2 (6H) tolerance for reproducible metric threads; order this machine tap directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the specialists for application guidance.

TECWERK Machine Tap DIN 376C VA M16×2 HSS‑Co TiCN 6H

A TECWERK Machine Tap DIN 376C VA M16×2 designed for precise metric thread production in stainless, acid‑resistant and heat‑resistant steels, optimised for machine tapping and blind‑hole applications

• HSS‑Co substrate for high cutting performance
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• ISO2 (6H) tolerance for precision threads
• Shank Ø 12 mm for secure machine clamping

Consistent cutting performance for demanding alloys

The tap is manufactured from HSS‑Co, a cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel that maintains hardness at elevated temperatures and under heavy cutting loads. Combined with a TiCN coating, the tool delivers improved wear resistance and reduced friction, which extends service intervals and supports higher machining productivity. For operations where cycle times and tool lifetime determine cost per thread, this configuration yields measurable efficiency gains and fewer re‑taps.

Accurate metric threads that reduce assembly risk

Engineered to DIN 376C and used with DIN 13 Sheet 1 thread specifications, the tool produces an M16×2 metric thread within tolerance field ISO2 (6H). The guaranteed tolerance ensures reproducible fits for fasteners and mating parts, reducing rejects and rework. By specifying this tolerance class, procurement and quality teams gain a predictable basis for assembly clearances and torque behaviour during final assembly.

Machine‑ready geometry for blind‑hole tapping

Designed as Form C / Type VA, the tap features a right‑hand 40° helix and flanks ground for reliable chip formation when producing blind‑hole threads. The helix angle and flank treatment promote chip evacuation towards the shank, lowering the risk of chip packing in blind bores. With a shank Ø 12 mm, the tool mounts securely in standard machine holders and supports consistent concentricity for series production.

FAQ

What materials can this tap process?
The TECWERK machine tap is specified for stainless, acid‑resistant and heat‑resistant steels up to 1000 N/mm² tensile strength and is made from HSS‑Co with a TiCN coating to handle demanding alloys.

Is the tool suitable for blind holes?
Yes, the Form C / Type VA geometry and 40° right‑hand helix are designed specifically to improve chip control and reliability when producing blind‑hole threads.

Which tolerance and standard does the tap meet?
The tap produces M16×2 threads to ISO2 (6H) tolerance and complies with DIN 13 Sheet 1 and DIN 376C specifications for machine taps.

What shank diameter is required for mounting?
The tool has a shank Ø 12 mm, suitable for standard machine tap holders and rigid clamping systems used in automated machining centres.

How does the TiCN coating benefit production?
The TiCN coating reduces friction and wear, improving tool life and allowing higher productivity rates compared with uncoated counterparts.
