HSS-E taps can be used universally for almost all materials. For heavy duty requirements we offer types in HSS-E powder metal grades (PM). Solid carbide taps are made out of a special extra fine grain.
These tools are specifically for machining high silicon aluminum alloys, brittle materials, such as grey cast iron or short chipping brass, and heavy-duty materials.
Compared to HSS-E taps carbide taps have substantial advantages:
- Up to 20x longer tool life than HSS-E taps
- Fewer tool change times due to longer tool life
- Higher cutting speeds - so shorter cycle times
- Significant reduction in production costs due to longer tool life, higher cutting speeds and fewer tool changes
