Taps for materials and applications: complete UFS guide
Each material has specific characteristics that directly influence tapping quality. To obtain precise, repeatable and threads within tolerance, it is essential to use taps designed for the specific material and application.
This page brings together all UFS tap categories dedicated to different materials, applications and tapping technologies. It helps users identify the most suitable UFS tap family according to material, application and tapping technology.
Taps for applications and technologies
Tapping technologies require tools with specific geometries, materials and coatings. Below are the main UFS categories:
- Synchronized rigid tapping
- Roll-form taps / forming taps
- Taps for universal applications (Rm ≤ 1200 N/mm²)
- Taps for high-strength steels (up to 52 HRC)
- Taps for general-purpose use (Rm ≤ 850 N/mm²)
Taps for materials
Each material requires a tap designed to ensure stability, chip evacuation, tool life and thread quality. The main categories are:
- Taps for stainless steels
- Taps for titanium and titanium alloys
- Taps for cast iron
- Taps for aluminium, copper and iron / light alloys
- Taps for nickel and superalloys
Why choose UFS taps
