High Speed Ground Thread Taps

The taps in this catalog are all made by Threadwell of the finest high speed steel available. They are heat treated under controlled conditions and with the latest techniques. The result is the finest line of ground thread taps to be found on the market. And every tap has a built-in resistance to heat and abrasion. On occasion, however, some of our customers have an unusual application which requires a special surface treatment of the tap. To give our customers the kind of service they have come to expect, Threadwell can provide a variety of surface treatments

TST-4 Nitride plus Steam Oxide To add wear life and reduce loading. High speed production tapping. Poor lubrication.
TST-5 Stream Oxide plus Nitride To add wear life, provide self lubrication. For use in cast iron.
TST-6 Heavy Nitride plus Steam Oxide To add wear life in hard and dense metals. For taping hard steel alloys, titanium, exotic metas land hard copper alloys.

HOWEVER, a word of caution: Customers are requested to provide us with full details of the tapping application before ordering a surface treatment. We will advise you whether a surface treatment is needed or not, or if it will solve the problem. We do not want our valued customers to invest time or money if it is not necessary.
