X-Performer Forming Taps

Product catalog summary

Product Overview

The S-XPF and OIL-S-XPF are high-performance forming taps designed for use in carbon and alloy steels, particularly in automotive applications. These taps offer long tool life due to their ability to avoid chip-related issues common with cutting taps. They are effective in machining steel forgings and provide stable performance with reduced tapping torque and heat generation.

Features

Long tool life in carbon and alloy steels.
Reduced tapping torque and heat generation.
High wear resistance and toughness due to cobalt HSS substrate.
V coating provides excellent wear resistance and anti-welding properties.

Specifications

The document provides detailed specifications for various models, including dimensions and recommended drill hole sizes. It emphasizes the importance of trial tapping to determine the appropriate hole diameter due to material variability.

Applications

S-XPF and OIL-S-XPF taps are ideal for automotive parts and perform exceptionally well in alloy, forged, and hardened steels up to 35 HRC. They are suitable for medium and high carbon steels, alloy steels, hardened steels, and stainless steels with specific tapping speeds recommended for each material type.

Machining Examples

Examples demonstrate the taps' ability to achieve stable tapping in various materials, including SCM440 and 42CrM04, using both water-soluble and non-water-based lubricants. The taps show reduced tapping torque and increased hole count compared to competitors.

Instructions for Use

Check forming conditions similar to conventional nu-roll taps.
Use highly lubricating coolants.
Ensure machines and toolholders have minimum runout.
Adjust cutting conditions based on work material strength and equipment.

Performance Comparison

Graphs and data illustrate the S-XPF's reduced tapping torque by 30% compared to existing products and its ability to perform stable machining even in challenging applications.

Catalog excerpts

S-XPF OIL-S-XPF PRODUCT INFORMATION X Performer Forming Taps ! Exceptional performance in alloy steels, forged steels, and hardened steels up to 35 HRC ! Long tool life is possible in carbon and alloy steels, as there are no problems with chips typically found with cutting taps. This is particularly effective for machining steel forgings for automotive applications. The use of special threading reduces tapping torque and heat generation, which creates stable, long tool life even when using water-soluble cutting fluid. Stable tapping performance can be achieved thanks to the high wear resistance and toughness of the cobalt HSS substrate. The excellent wear resistance and anti-welding properties of the V coating provide the S-XPF with stable tool life.
