Machine tap DIN 371C GG M6×1 HSS-Co TiCN (TECWERK)

The Machine tap DIN 371C GG M6×1 HSS-Co TiCN (TECWERK) is a production-grade metric tap designed for efficient thread cutting in cast-iron materials and related alloys, suitable for both through and blind hole applications.

• HSS-Co substrate with TiCN coating
• Straight flutes with ground flank relief
• Metric ISO thread M6×1, tolerance 6HX
• Designed for grey and graphite cast iron

Faster machining and longer tool life through advanced coating

The combination of HSS-Co (cobalt-alloy high-speed steel) and a TiCN coating delivers improved wear resistance and thermal stability compared with unalloyed high-speed steel. This means fewer tool changes and more consistent throughput in repetitive threading operations. The coating also reduces built-up edge, which supports a uniform surface finish on the internal thread and extends the effective life of the tool while maintaining cutting performance under elevated cutting speeds.

Consistent, accurate threads that reduce rework

Engineered to produce metric ISO threads M6×1 to DIN 13, part 1, with a 6HX tolerance, the tap yields reproducible results that ease assembly and inspection. The straight flutes and ground flank relief ensure clean chip evacuation and accurate flank geometry, reducing the likelihood of thread distortion. For production environments this translates to fewer rejects, less rework and a measurable improvement in process reliability.

Built for cast-iron applications and practical workshop use

Form C, type GG geometry and the material compatibility make this tool particularly suited to grey cast iron, graphite cast iron and malleable cast iron operations. The tool is configured for both through and blind holes and includes a recognisable white ring for fast identification at the tool crib. With a shank diameter of 6 mm, the tap is suitable for standard machine holders and is supplied as a single unit for immediate integration into machine tool routines.

FAQ

What materials is this tap intended for?
The Machine tap DIN 371C GG M6×1 HSS-Co TiCN (TECWERK) is specified for use in grey cast iron, graphite cast iron and malleable cast iron.

Can the tap be used in blind holes?
Yes, the tool geometry is suitable for both through-hole and blind-hole threading, enabling safe chip evacuation and consistent thread form with the TECWERK tap.

What does the 6HX tolerance mean for assembly?
A 6HX tolerance indicates a slightly looser internal thread tolerance on the pitch diameter, allowing for reliable bolt engagement while compensating for minor variations in hole preparation when using the TECWERK M6×1 tap.

How does the TiCN coating benefit machining?
The TiCN coating on this machine tap reduces wear and friction, improves heat resistance and helps maintain cutting edges, extending tool life in production use compared with uncoated taps.

Is the shank compatible with standard holders?
The tap has a 6 mm shank diameter and is compatible with standard machine tool collets and holders used for small-diameter machine taps like the TECWERK M6×1.
