Forming Taps

Forming taps are a kind of chipless processing technology that uses metal forming to process internal threads, called screw taps. Unlike the above three cutting taps, the tapping method of forming taps is to extrude the bottom hole’s internal thread shape through the plastic deformation of the material itself. Therefore, the target processing material cannot be too hard.

Forming taps advantage:

• The thread extruded by the forming tap has a smooth surface, good precision, wear resistance, breakage resistance, and high strength. It is widely used in the electronics and plastic industries.
•  No chips are generated, so 90% of processing problems can be eliminated.
• The threaded holes processed by the extrusion forming process have high tensile and shear strength, and the roughness of the processed surface is also good.
