HSS-Co for increased toughness and wear resistance TiN coating for longer tool life and reduced friction Forming tap for chipless thread generation Suitable for through and blind holes High-performance forming for consistent production The HSS‑Co base material delivers elevated toughness and thermal resistance compared with standard high-speed steels, which supports continuous operation under demanding conditions. As a forming tap, the tool creates threads by cold forming rather than cutting; this produces work-hardened thread flanks and eliminates chip management, improving cycle reliability. The TiN surface treatment further reduces friction during forming, extending service intervals and lowering overall process costs while maintaining consistent M8 thread dimensions. Material compatibility that reduces rework Designed for use in non‑ferrous metals and steels with ≥10% elongation, the tool reliably forms ISO metric threads without material fracturing when the component ductility is sufficient. The forming process increases root strength of the thread and avoids burr formation typical of cutting taps, thereby reducing secondary finishing. The 6HX tolerance field provides a practical fit class for many assembly situations, offering predictable mating behaviour and easing assembly tolerances for production runs. Design details that improve thread quality and control forces The straight‑fluted geometry and flanks undercut lower forming forces and guide material flow into the thread profile, yielding cleaner, more accurate threads across the full 22 mm forming length. A shank diameter of Ø 8 mm ensures compatibility with standard toolholders and reduces vibration during operation. These design choices combine to reduce spindle load and heat build-up, which supports longer tool life and steadier cycle times in serial production. Practical handling and inspection guidance For best results, ensure correct hole preparation and lubrication suited to cold forming processes: a properly sized pilot hole and an appropriate forming lubricant will reduce torque peaks and prevent premature tool wear. Regular inspection of formed threads for profile conformity and functional fit keeps assemblies within specification; use calibrated gauges where repeatability is critical.
