Titanium nitride coated taps from Dormer Tools

Dormer Tools has further expanded its high performance, multi-application threading range with titanium nitride coated taps that give repeatable quality thread production in a wide range of materials including steel, cast iron, stainless, copper and aluminium.

The surface treatment combines high hardness, low friction properties for longer tool life and better cutting performance. The titanium nitride coated taps are available to DIN or ISO standard in both spiral point and spiral flute geometries. All spiral flute geometry taps feature a three radii flute profile with a constant rake angle allowing the creation of narrow, regular chips. This, combined with adequate flute space, results in negligible chip congestion. The titanium nitride coated taps complement Dormer's existing bright finish and steam tempered multi-material ranges but provide significantly improved wear resistance and productivity, says the company.
