- YG-1 8-32 inch Cold Forming Tap UNC HSSE -UNC 2BX
- A cold-forming tap is a cutting tool used in machining and metalworking processes. Unlike traditional taps that generate threads by removing material through cutting, cold-forming taps create threads by deforming the material without producing chips
- Material Deformation: Cold-forming taps have a specific design with lobes or protrusions on their cutting surfaces. These lobes displace the material rather than cutting it. As the tap rotates and moves into the workpiece, these lobes create threads by pushing the material into the desired shape
- Increased Strength: The cold-forming process typically produces more robust and precise threads than traditional cutting methods. Since the material is displaced rather than removed, there is less waste, and the formed threads often have improved mechanical properties
- Thread Quality: Cold-forming taps produce high-quality threads with good surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The created threads are often free from burrs and other imperfections
- Material Compatibility: Cold-forming taps are suitable for a variety of materials, including both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. They are commonly used in materials like steel, aluminium, and brass
- Applications: Cold-forming taps are often used in high-volume production settings where efficiency and precision are crucial. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing frequently employ cold-forming taps for their threading needs
