Taps

OSG USA Inc., St. Charles, Illinois, announces the expansion of the A Brand A-Tap series with the addition of the A-NPTF pipe taps. These advanced performance pipe taps are suitable for a variety of materials.

The Paradur® Ti Plus taps are for threading blind holes with a geometry specially developed for machining titanium alloys with a tensile strength of at least 700 N/mm2 using emulsion instead of oil. The Prototex® TiNi Plus tap is effective for through-hole threading. Walter specially developed the geometry to thread titanium and nickel-based super alloys (ISO S material group) with a tensile strength of 700 N/mm2 or higher using emulsion.

This high performance HSS-E thread forming tap is suitable for both through and blind holes in a wide range of workpiece materials. The premium materials used in the taps provide a balanced ratio of toughness, hardness and heat resistance to the entire tap.

With the ability to cut blind-hole threads up to 3.5 × DN, the TC130 Supreme tap is targeted for applications in general mechanical engineering and the energy industry, such as for threading wind turbines. The tap is suitable for threading steel and cast iron (ISO P and K workpiece groups). Also, the tool is ideal for interference contours and series production.

MultiTAP tapping solution ranges from cut taps to form taps in different coatings, in addition to taps with extended lengths. MultiTHREAD MILL is an ideal general-purpose, cost-effective thread milling solution for job shops where part applications and materials frequently change. MultiDRILL™ features affordable, high-quality solid carbide 3XD and 5XD drills for manufacturers that have limited quantity production runs or operate in a job shop environment with many materials.
