Stainless steel tap are a new type of threading tool that uses the principle of metal plastic deformation to process internal threads. Squeezing internal threads in self-tapping is a chip free machining process, especially suitable for copper alloys and aluminum alloys with low strength and good plasticity. It can also be used for tapping materials with low hardness and high plasticity such as stainless steel and low carbon steel, with a long service life.

The surface smoothness of the threads extruded by Tap drill bit is high, the metal fibers of the threads do not break, and a cold hard layer is formed on the surface, which can improve the strength and wear resistance of the threads.

Purpose: Used for threading ordinary internal threads on nuts or other machine parts machine tap usually refers to high-speed steel grinding tap, suitable for tapping on machine tools; Hand tap refers to a carbon tool steel or alloy tool steel rolling (or cutting) tap, suitable for Manual tapping.
