16mm Thread Former M5 Form C HSS-Co TiN Coated 6HX For Through And Blind Holes - TECWERK

Combine the wear resistance of a TiN coating, the toughness of HSS‑Co and the robust Form C geometry to produce consistent, ISO‑compliant M5 threads; order the thread former directly via Metav Werkzeuge or contact our consultants for application support.

Thread former DIN 2174 (DIN 371) M5 Form C — HSS‑Co, TiN-coated (TECWERK)

A Thread former DIN 2174 (DIN 371) M5 Form C designed to form ISO metric M5 threads in through and blind holes across ductile metals and compatible steels.

• HSS‑Co substrate with TiN coating
• Form C geometry for robust forming
• Straight flutes, flanks ground for smooth feed
• Metric ISO M5 thread, tolerance 6HX
• Thread length 16 mm, shank Ø 6 mm

Consistent, long‑running M5 threads with reduced wear

The combination of a HSS‑Co substrate and a TiN coating delivers increased surface hardness and reduced friction, which together extend tool life and reduce maintenance cycles. The Form C geometry is engineered to exert controlled material flow rather than cutting, so the forming process yields ISO‑compliant threads with the specified 6HX tolerance. This reduces rework and improves assembly reliability, especially where repeatability is critical in production runs.

Reliable forming in ductile metals and compatible steels

Designed for materials with adequate ductility, the tool is suitable for non‑ferrous metals and steels exhibiting at least 10% elongation. The straight flutes and flanks ground finish promote uniform material displacement and lower the risk of cracking during thread formation. Because the tool forms the thread profile without producing chips, it is particularly advantageous for applications where chip control and surface integrity matter.

Practical dimensions for straightforward integration

With a thread length of 16 mm and a shank diameter of 6 mm, the tool integrates easily into common toolholders and collets used in precision workshops. The metric ISO M5 specification and tolerance class 6HX support predictable assembly fits, while the straight‑groove configuration facilitates coolant access and heat dissipation during forming. Reduced tool change frequency and predictable lifetime contribute to smoother production planning and lower total process cost.

FAQ

What materials are suitable for this thread former? The TECWERK thread former DIN 2174 M5 is suitable for non‑ferrous metals and for steels that offer at least 10% elongation, ensuring safe material flow during forming.

Can the tool be used in blind holes? Yes. The design supports both through and blind hole applications, allowing the TECWERK M5 forming tool to be used where chip evacuation is limited.

What tolerance and thread standard does the tool produce? The tool forms an ISO metric M5 thread to tolerance class 6HX, compliant with the DIN 2174 / DIN 371 specification.

How do the TiN coating and HSS‑Co substrate help in production? The TiN coating reduces friction and improves wear resistance, while the HSS‑Co substrate provides toughness; together they extend tool life and support consistent forming performance.

What are the key dimensions to consider for machine setup? The forming tool has a thread length of 16 mm and a shank diameter of 6 mm, which should match the available toolholder or collet for secure clamping.
