Thread former DIN 2174 (DIN 371) M10 Form C, HSS-Co TiN — Thread forming tap with straight flutes (TECWERK)

The Thread former DIN 2174 (DIN 371) M10 Form C, HSS-Co TiN is a precision forming tap designed for generating metric ISO threads in ductile materials, suitable for both through and blind holes

• HSS-Co construction, TiN-coated
• Straight-fluted with relief-ground flanks
• Metric ISO M10 thread, tolerance 6HX
• Suitable for through and blind holes

Consistent, chip-free thread forming for ductile components

The tool is engineered as a forming tap, which displaces material rather than cutting it, producing threads without chips and reducing secondary cleaning steps. The result is a stronger root profile and a smooth internal surface, optimising fatigue performance in assemblies. The integrated metric ISO thread geometry and tolerance class 6HX deliver predictable fits for standard fasteners, supporting reproducible assembly processes and efficient quality control in serial production.

Extended lifetime through coating and high-speed steel alloy

Constructed from HSS-Co (cobalt-alloy high-speed steel) and finished with a TiN surface coating, the tool combines heat resistance with improved lubricity. The coating reduces friction and surface wear under elevated temperatures, while the substrate material maintains edge stability during forming. Together these properties extend tool life and lower total tooling costs by reducing the frequency of regrinds and replacements in medium-duty production environments.

Precision geometry for reliable thread quality and handling

The straight-fluted design with relief-ground flanks supports uniform material flow during forming and helps to avoid material folding that can cause poor thread profiles. With a 24 mm thread length and a 10 mm shank, the tool is suitable for standard toolholders and provides adequate engagement for M10 threads in typical component thicknesses. The controlled geometry ensures consistent thread form and reduces variability between cycles, which benefits automated machining cells and manual bench operations alike.

Material suitability and practical application advice

This forming tool is specified for use in non-ferrous metals and steels with ≥10% elongation, where ductility allows displacement without cracking. It is applicable for both through and blind holes, though blind-hole forming requires attention to depth and lubrication to ensure complete material flow. The tool’s Form C profile and DIN standards make it compatible with common industrial specifications, enabling straightforward integration into existing production workflows.

FAQ

Is this forming tap suitable for stainless steel?
The Thread former DIN 2174 (DIN 371) M10 Form C from TECWERK is suitable for steels only if the material exhibits sufficient ductility; the tool is specified for steels with at least 10% elongation and will perform best under those conditions (SKU 2000867621NW).

What is the difference between a forming tap and a cutting tap?
A forming tap displaces material to create threads without producing chips, whereas a cutting tap removes material; the TECWERK forming tap achieves chip-free threads and improved root strength by material flow rather than cutting.

Can the tool be used for blind-hole threads?
Yes, the TECWERK M10 forming tap is designed for both through and blind holes; attention to lubrication and forming depth is advised to ensure complete thread formation (see SKU 2000867621NW).

Which tolerance and fit can be expected from this tool?
The tool produces a metric ISO thread to tolerance class 6HX, providing a standardised fit appropriate for typical assembly requirements with predictable mating performance.

What are the main benefits of the TiN coating on this forming tap?
The TiN coating on the TECWERK forming tap reduces friction, improves wear resistance and enhances heat tolerance, which together extend tool life and support stable production cycles (SKU 2000867621NW).
