Taps for threading nickel and superalloys

The UFS technical brochure is dedicated to the families of taps for nickel and nickel-based alloys, designed to ensure precision and reliability in threading high-strength superalloys, ideal for aeronautical applications.

A practical tool that brings together the most high-performance solutions for difficult-to-machine materials, where chip control, process stability and high wear resistance are essential. The range includes cutting taps for through holes and blind holes, with 10° left-hand helix for through holes and 10° right-hand helix for blind holes, also available with J profile (general use in industrial applications) and MJ profile (developed for aeronautical and aerospace applications) with rounded outside diameter for specific applications.

Made from PM3 powder metallurgy steel with high-hardness TiCN coating, these tools for superalloys are suitable for machining Inconel 718, Monel, Hastelloy and other nickel alloys, up to tensile strengths of 1600 N/mm², ensuring high thread accuracy, torsional strength and tool life even in the most demanding conditions.

Available in the TOP line, with high-performance surface treatments and PVD coatings, they represent a professional solution for aeronautical tapping and for threading high-strength alloys on CNC machines.

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 alternative or complementary tools.

The ideal tool for combining precision, efficiency and innovation in nickel alloy machining, with the guarantee of UFS quality.

10° right-hand helix taps for blind holes, PM3 sintered steel, ideal for aeronautical applications on nickel alloys. They are suitable for tapping medium-depth blind holes. The low-twist helix with reduced helix, the absence of the reduced diameter section behind the thread (neck), gives the tool greater strength when working with difficult-to-cut materials like nickel.
