DIN2174 HSSE‑Co5% Forming Tap follows DIN2174 European standard. Made of HSSE‑Co5% 5‑percent cobalt high‑speed steel, this roll forming tap adopts chip‑less thread‑forming technology. Instead of cutting away workpiece material, it displaces metal to shape internal threads, resulting in denser, higher‑strength thread structure.
Equipped with special oil groove design, which facilitates the flow of tapping lubricant into the threading zone for effective cooling and lubrication. The premium TiCN coating features high hardness and low friction coefficient, lowering heat generation, resisting abrasion and extending tool service life. Lead point and transition taper ensure smooth entry into pre‑drilled holes for stable forming performance. Suitable for both through‑hole and blind‑hole tapping on ductile metals for industrial CNC batch production.
