Machine tap DIN 371B VA M5 x 0.8 mm HSS‑Co TiCN 6H – TECWERK

A Machine tap DIN 371B VA M5 x 0.8 mm engineered for reliable through‑hole threading in stainless, acid‑ and heat‑resistant steels with a TiCN coating for extended tool life.

• HSS‑Co substrate with TiCN coating
• Straight flute with flank relief for stainless steels
• ISO metric thread M5 x 0.8 with tolerance 6H
• Suitable for steels up to 1000 N/mm² tensile strength

Consistent cutting performance under load

Manufactured from HSS‑Co, this tap combines toughness with thermal stability to withstand the demands of serial machining. The TiCN coating reduces friction and wear, which extends service life and maintains thread quality over longer production runs. For operations that prioritise throughput and repeatability, the coated substrate delivers a measurable reduction in tool changes and process interruptions, supporting leaner workflows and predictable output.

Accurate ISO threads for reliable assembly

Designed to produce ISO metric threads to DIN 371B and DIN 13 Blatt 1 standards, the tool guarantees a 6H tolerance fit for general assembly use. The precise M5 x 0.8 specification means threaded components mate as intended without additional fitting or rework. The included chamfer for through threads improves lead‑in and chip formation, which decreases cycle variation and helps machines maintain consistent torque signatures during tapping.

Geometry optimised for challenging alloys

The straight flute design and flank‑relieved cutting edges reduce material adhesion and improve chip evacuation when machining stainless and heat‑resistant steels. Marked as Type VA and finished with a blue ring, the geometry is deliberately chosen to address the workhardening tendency of such materials. The tap is suitable for steels with tensile strength up to 1000 N/mm², and the compact shank Ø 6 mm provides straightforward clamping in common machine holders.

Workshop compatibility and operational benefits

Conforming to Form B, this tool integrates into standard machine tapping processes without special adaptations. The combination of standardised dimensions and the coated, ground geometry reduces downtime caused by premature wear or inconsistent thread quality. For production environments and specialist workshops alike, the design supports stable cycle times and predictable maintenance intervals, helping to protect both parts quality and machine availability.

FAQ

Is this tap suitable for stainless and heat‑resistant steels?
Yes. The TECWERK machine tap M5 x 0.8 with HSS‑Co substrate and TiCN coating is designed for stainless, acid‑ and heat‑resistant steels and is specified for materials up to 1000 N/mm².

What tolerance and thread standard does this tap produce?
The tool produces ISO metric threads to DIN 371B and DIN 13 Blatt 1 with a 6H tolerance field, ensuring standardised fits for assembly.

Can this tap be used in standard machine holders?
Yes. The tap has a shank Ø 6 mm and Form B geometry, making it compatible with common machine clamping systems for automated tapping.

Does the TiCN coating affect cutting speeds?
The TiCN coating lowers friction and improves wear resistance, which often allows for increased cutting parameters compared with uncoated taps, depending on machine and application.

What is the advantage of the straight flute and flank relief?
The straight flute and flank‑relieved edges reduce material adhesion and improve chip evacuation when machining workhardening alloys, leading to more consistent threads and fewer tap breakages.
