Technical Notes:
- HSS-PM powder metallurgy construction provides superior wear resistance and toughness for nickel alloy machining
- L8° helix angle spiral point design directs chips forward, ideal for through-hole applications in nickel-based alloys
- TiCN coating reduces friction and significantly extends tool life when threading nickel-based alloys
- 6HX hexagonal shank for secure tool holding
- Conforms to DIN dimensional standards
- Max 3xd chamfer optimized for nickel alloy threading
- Premium grade specifically engineered for the challenges of nickel-based alloy threading
Applications:
Specifically designed for threading nickel-based alloys such as Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel, and other difficult-to-machine superalloys in through-hole applications. The spiral point geometry pushes chips ahead of the tap, making it ideal for through holes where chips can exit. The HSS-PM construction and TiCN coating provide the wear resistance and heat resistance necessary for successful nickel alloy threading. Recommended for aerospace, chemical processing, and high-temperature applications requiring nickel-based alloy components with through holes.
