Forming Tap - Overview

A form tap, also known as a cold forming tap or roll tap, is a tool used to create internal threads by plasticly deforming the workpiece material, rather than cutting it away. This chipless process displaces material to form stronger, smoother, and more robust threads, making it ideal for high-production environments, miniature applications, and ductile materials like certain steels and aluminum.

Advantages of Forming Tap

Stronger Threads

One significant advantage of forming taps is that they create threads by displacing material rather than cutting it. This process results in inherently stronger threads, enhancing durability in various applications.

Extended Tool Life

Forming taps have a prolonged tool life because they don't involve cutting into the material. This characteristic reduces wear and tear on the tool, ensuring it remains in good condition for an extended period, contributing to cost-effectiveness.

Faster Process

The forming process tends to be faster compared to cutting. In addition to forming taps offering strength and durability, they are also faster overall production speed, impacting time-sensitive projects.

Improved Surface Finish

The cold forming process employed by forming taps contributes to a smoother surface finish on the threads. This enhances the aesthetics and can be crucial in applications where a polished or clean appearance is desired.

Thread Reinforcement

Another advantage is the reinforcement of the thread's root. The material displacement during the forming process strengthens the threads' roots, making them more robust and resistant to damage.

Applicable Industry

Forming taps, also known as roll taps, form taps, and fluteless taps, create thread forms by rolling material rather than cutting away any excess material. This means there is no need for flutes to evacuate chips. Thread forming taps generate threads that are significantly more robust than those produced by cutting taps. They offer a long lifespan due to their fluteless design, providing the necessary rigidity to avoid breakage. The lack of a cutting edge ensures that there is nothing to wear and become dull. Using a thread forming tap, also known as a roll tap, is an efficient and reliable method for thread forming in various applications.
1. Power generation industry (turbine, boiler, etc.).
2. Mould industry: coolant hole.
3. Auto industry: shaft, piston pin, cylinder block, etc.
4. Aerospace industry: landing gear, gas turbine shaft.
5. Steelmaking industry: billet.
6. Injection molding machine, chemical engineering and other industries.

Material of Threads With Taps

Internal threads can be produced by a cold forming or swaging process. The desired thread is formed in the metal under pressure and the grain fibers, as in good forging, follow the contour of the thread. These grain fibers are not cut away as in conventional tapping. The cold forming tap has neither flutes nor cutting edges and therefore, it produces no chips and cannot create a chip problem. The resulting thread has a burnished surface.

Material Recommended: Care must be taken to minimize surface damage to the hole when tapping materials which are prone to work harden. This may be accomplished by using sharp drills, correct speed and feeds. Surface damage may cause torque to increase to a point of stopping the machine or breaking the tap.

Cold forming taps have been recommended for threading ductile materials. Examples of material classes which have been tapped are:

Low carbon steels
Leaded steels
Austenitic stainless steels
Aluminum die casting alloys (low silicon)
Wrought aluminum alloys (ductile)
Zinc die casting alloys
Copper and copper alloys (ductile brasses)

FAQ

Q: What is a forming tap used for?

A: Form taps are ideal for tapping blind holes, but can be used for any tapping application in ductile material, including steel and some stainless steels. Form taps have lubrication grooves but no cutting faces and do not cut threads or produce chips.

Q: How does forming a tap work?

A: Forming Taps: Forming taps work by displacing the material in the workpiece to form the internal thread. The tap does not remove material, but instead, it cold-forms the thread by pressing the material into the desired shape.

Q: What is the difference between a forming tap and a cutting tap?

A: Form taps shape threads by displacing material, creating stronger, burr-free threads in ductile materials like steel and aluminum without producing chips. Cut taps, however, remove material using cutting edges, leaving behind chips and weaker, fractured grain threads. Choosing between them depends on the material's properties, the desired thread strength, and whether chips are acceptable, as cutting taps are versatile but form taps offer superior strength and longevity in suitable materials.

Q: What materials can you form tap?

A: Form taps are used on aluminum, brass, copper, lead, stainless steel, carbon steel, cast steel, leaded steel and zinc as well as other mild steels and medium alloys.

Q: Are you manufacturer or trading company?

A: We are manufacturer.

Q: What's your best delivery time?

A: Within 15-30 days.
