The the spiral flute design helps pull the chips ou of the hole to 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. ⑥ Tapping Data Tapping Conditions [M6×1] Work Piece Material Ti-6Aℓ-4V Bored Hole Size φ5.0 ZET-B Tapping Length 12mm ⑦ Tapping Speed 8m/min Can Continue Machiery Type CNC tapping center General PurposeSP Tapping Fluid Water soluble cutting fluid 0 20 40 60 80 100 (Number of holes processed) ⑧ Characteristics of titanium alloy It is mainly composed of titanium that has a high strength and is light weight. 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 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. ●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. ⑪ JIS ①-151
