Roll Taps ● Considering the shrinkage of the internal screw thread, the tap is produced to a moderate oversize condition. ⑥ Tapping Data Tapping Conditions [M6×1] Workpiece Material Ti-6Aℓ-4V Special Thread Taps Simple Inspection Tools ⑦ Bored Hole Size φ5.0 ZET-P Tapping Length 12mm Can Continue Tapping Speed 8m/min Machinery Type CNC tapping center General Purpose PO Tapping Fluid Water soluble cutting fluid 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 Pipe Taps ⑧ (Number of holes processed.) Characteristics of titanium alloy Thread Mills Premium Thread Mills ●It is mainly composed of titanium that has a high strength and is light weight. It has excellent heat resistance. There are ⑨ various kinds 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 good characteristics. Examples of problems in tapping Dies ●Titanium alloys have high temperature strength and the thermal diffusion is small, so ⑩ abrupt abrasion occurs on the tap. ●The spring back on internal screw threads may cause diameters to shrink and the tap may be crimped causing breakage. ●Chip welding occurs easily on the cutting chamfer of the tap and the threads flank surface. The finished threads surface of the internal screw thread also becomes rough and coarse. Center Drills Centering Tools ⑪ JIS ②-19
