The the spiral flute design helps pull the chips ou of the hole to Cemented Carbide Taps allow the cutting heat to be carried out. ⑤ ●Appropriate flute shape for titanium alloy is utilized and the ejection of the chips is smooth. ●A nitride surface treatment is performed for added wear resistance. ●Considering the shrinkage of the internal screw thread, the tap is produced to a moderate oversize condition.

It has excellent heat resistance. There are various types of titanium alloys such as Ti - 5Aℓ - 2.5Sn, Ti - 5Ta, and the most popular Ti - 6Aℓ - 4V which is commonly used due to its Thread Mills Premium Thread Mills good characteristics. ⑨ Examples of problems in tapping ●Titanium alloys have high temperature strength and the thermal diffusion is small, so abrupt abrasion occurs on the tap. Dies ●The spring back on internal screw threads may cause diameters to shrink and the tap may be crimped causing breakage. ⑩ ●Chip welding occurs easily on the cutting chamfer of the tap and the threads flank surface. The finished thread surface of the internal screw thread also becomes rough and coarse. Center Drills Centering Tools ⑪ JIS ①-151
