6mm Thread Former M6 Form C HSS-Co TiN Coated Straight Fluted 19mm - TECWERK

Take advantage of cold-forming efficiency, durable TiN protection and the precision of tolerance class 6HX for reliable M6 thread production; order the forming tap directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

TECWERK M6 Thread Forming Tap (DIN 2174 / DIN 371) — Form C, HSS‑Co, TiN, 6HX

The M6 Thread Forming Tap (Form C) is a solid‑cobalt forming tap engineered for producing ISO metric M6 threads in through and blind holes, optimised for ductile steels and non‑ferrous metals.

• HSS‑Co with TiN coating
• Form C with relieved flanks
• For through and blind holes
• Tolerance class 6HX, ISO metric threads

Faster, chip‑free threads for robust assemblies

A forming tap creates threads by cold forming rather than cutting, which eliminates chip formation and produces a compacted grain structure in the parent material. The result is a stronger internal thread and reduced secondary cleaning effort; this tool therefore supports higher component reliability and shorter cycle times. The combination of cold forming and the 6HX tolerance ensures consistent engagement with mating parts, improving assembly quality and reducing rework.

Enhanced tool life and process stability

Constructed from HSS‑Co (solid cobalt high‑speed steel) and finished with a TiN coating, the tap resists heat and abrasive wear while lowering friction during forming. The Form C geometry with relieved flanks and straight flutes promotes material flow and reduces forming forces, which extends service intervals and maintains thread accuracy over longer runs. These design elements translate into measurable savings on tooling replacement and machine downtime.

Precision parameters for dependable fit

Designed to produce M6 ISO threads to tolerance class 6HX, the tap delivers repeatable dimensions across both through and blind holes. Key measurements: thread length 19 mm and shank diameter 6 mm, allowing straightforward clamping and handling in standard tool holders. The tool is suitable for materials specified as non‑ferrous metals and steels with at least 10 % elongation, ensuring that the forming process can achieve the intended plastic deformation without cracking.

Practical workshop guidance and integration

For best results, prepare a drilled hole to the recommended size for thread forming, secure the workpiece to prevent rotation and apply appropriate forming lubricant to reduce friction. Maintain stable feed and avoid excessive reversing during blind‑hole forming to prevent workpiece distortion. The tool’s TiN surface and HSS‑Co core support dependable performance under industrial conditions, making it suitable for series production as well as repair and maintenance tasks in mechanical workshops. Metav’s product range and experience make integration into existing workflows straightforward, backed by a broad catalogue and logistical reliability.

FAQ

What is the advantage of a forming tap compared with a cutting tap?
A forming tap displaces material to create the thread, producing chip‑free threads with improved grain structure and higher internal thread strength compared with cutting taps.

Is this tap suitable for blind holes as well as through holes?
Yes, the tool is specified for both through and blind holes; the Form C geometry and straight flutes are optimised for controlled material flow in blind‑hole applications.

Which materials can be processed with this forming tap?
The tap is intended for non‑ferrous metals and steels with at least 10 % elongation, ensuring adequate ductility for cold forming without cracking.

What does tolerance class 6HX mean for assembly fit?
Tolerance class 6HX indicates a controlled internal thread profile that provides reliable engagement with standard external threads, supporting consistent assembly performance.

Can the tool be used in automated production?
Yes, the combination of HSS‑Co substrate, TiN coating and the Form C design offers the durability and process stability required for series production under controlled machine parameters.
