Taps for threading cast iron – UFS brochure for GJL, GJS and ADI

The UFS technical brochure is dedicated to the families of taps for threading cast iron, designed to ensure high performance in tapping grey cast iron GJL, spheroidal graphite cast iron GJS and austempered ductile iron ADI, short-chip materials widely used in industrial machining.

A practical tool that brings together the most high-performance solutions of machine taps for cast iron, developed to ensure precision, consistent thread quality and tapping process stability, even in medium- to high-productivity applications. The range includes cutting taps with straight flutes, available for blind holes and through holes, designed to ensure high torsional strength, chip evacuation control and reduced risk of tool breakage.

The solutions are made from HSSE high-speed steel and PM3 powder metallurgy steel, with controlled threading depth and ISO tolerances, ideal for CNC machining and series production on cast iron components.

The range is available in the LINE series, for an excellent balance between quality and cost-effectiveness, and TOP, with advanced coatings such as NQ, TiCN, TX and AHI, designed to increase wear resistance and optimize tool life. Versions with axial (FOR) and radial (FORY) internal lubrication are also available to improve reliability in the most demanding machining operations.

Thanks to the QR codes shown in the technical tables, users can quickly access the UFS B2B portal to check availability, consult detailed technical data and identify alternative products.

A practical and immediate tool, designed for those working with cast iron machining and looking for reliable, precise and constantly updated technical support, backed by UFS expertise in the threading tool sector.

Straight flutes, HSSE steel, for blind and through holes. Straight flutes provide greater torsional resistance during the cutting process. This tool family is suitable for medium-productivity machining. Available with NQ surface treatment or TiCN coating. Also suitable for high-silicon aluminium alloys, brass, and short-chipping bronze.

PM3 sintered steel, TX coating. Straight flutes provide greater torsional resistance during the cutting process. A tool family designed for high-productivity machining. Suitable for both blind and through holes. Also available in a central (FOR) and radial (FORY) hole version for optimal lubrication during machining, improved chip evacuation, and better control of cutting temperatures.

PM3 sintered steel, AHI coating, chamfer E. Straight flutes provide greater torsional resistance during the cutting process. A tool family designed for high-productivity machining. Suitable for both blind and through holes. Also available in a central (FOR) and radial (FORY) hole version for optimal lubrication during machining, improved chip evacuation, and better control of cutting temperatures. New AHI coating, high hardness, thermal shock stability, and wear resistance.
