Product Features

  • The UH-CT is designed for tapping SKD and pre-hardened steel 50HRC to 63HRC (Max 63).
  • It is produced from a ultra fine grain cemented carbide with superior abrasion resistance and impact resistance.

●The UH-CT has an improved shank roundness accuracy.

  • Recommended tapping length is "Major diameter size x 1.5" or less 5P chamfer for better tool life.

●For the bored hole diameter, the maximum minor diameter of a 6H internal thread diameter maximum value is recommended.

The figure above is a comparison of the number of tapped holes using a standard carbide tap (N-CT) and aThe figure above shows the relationship between the
carbide tap in SKD 11 high hardness quenched steel at 60 HRC. The N-CT tap, had chipped flutes atnumber of tapped holes and the load meter (%) of
8 holes. Compared to the N-CT, the UH-CT was able to process 60 holes in ultra high hardness steel. It isthe machine when machining tests are conducted up

to 60 holes with UH - CT tap. The numerical value important to watch for a dull drill as it will cause the taps flutes to wear prematurely. The drilling is of the load meter tends to increase as the number of processed at a 6m/min. cutting speed and a 0.04mm/rev. feed which can easily cause work hardening.

tapped holes increase at 50 completed threads. The cutting edge damage at this point causes the load

* Bored hole in this test was prepared by using a carbide drill under such condition as could cause nometer to raise quickly beyond 50 tapped holes. As
work-hardening. (cutting speed: 6m/min, feed 0.04m/rev.)the number of tapped holes progresses further, the

risk of tap breakage is considerable and the load will increase, so it is recommended to set the life expectancy at a safe level considering the high hardness of the steel being processed.
