The UFS technical brochure is dedicated to the families of taps for threading titanium and titanium alloys, designed to ensure precision, reliability and process control in tapping high-strength, low thermal conductivity materials, typical of aeronautical applications.
 
A practical tool that brings together the most high-performance solutions for threading titanium, where chip evacuation, stability and tool life are determining factors. The range includes 15° left-hand helix taps for through holes — up to 3xD — and 15° right-hand helix taps 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 to reduce stress concentrations and improve thread reliability.
 
Made from PM3 powder metallurgy steel with high-hardness TiCN coating, these threading tools are suitable for machining TiAl6V4 (Grade 5) and other titanium alloys up to 1400 N/mm², ensuring high torsional strength, chip control and long tool life even in the most demanding CNC machining operations.
 
Available in the TOP line, with high-performance surface treatments and PVD coatings, they represent a professional solution for titanium tapping in aeronautical and industrial applications.
 
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 or complementary products.
A reliable tool for tackling titanium threading with precision, efficiency and all the technical expertise of UFS.

K52/K53 CT

Spiral flutes taps left hand 15° for through holes, PM3 sintered steel, for titanium alloys. The left-handed helix promotes chip extraction in the same direction as the tap feed. They are suitable for tapping through holes up to 3xD. TiCN coating.

K42/K43 V • K42/K43 CT

Spiral flutes taps right hand 15° for blind holes, PM3 sintered steel, for titanium alloys. The right-hand flute promotes chip removal in the opposite direction to the tap's feed. They are suitable for tapping medium-depth blind holes. Surface treatment: steam tempering or TiCN coating.

 

Both tool families are also available in 4H and 3B tolerances with a "J" profile and rounded outer diameter. This rounding avoids sharp edges and is required where mechanical stresses could cause dangerous fractures in the resulting thread.
