Bordo HSSE-V3 TiAlN Coated Red Band Spiral Point Tap: 18
SKU: A0193999 | Model: 3152-18.00
Diameter (mm) 18. ordo HSSE-V3 TiAlN Coated Red Band Spiral Point Tap
HSSE-V3 HSSE with 3% Vanadium high-performance tap.
TiAlN (Titanium Aluminium Nitride) coating provides higher temperature resistance and improved surface hardness.
Optimised for machining tough treatable steel.
Spiral point, straight flute with angular cutting faces at the lead.
Primarily designed for tapping through holes but can be used for blind holes provided there is ample clearance beyond the threaded section to accommodate the swarf.
Designed to withstand the high stress and high heat associated with CNC production tapping.
The mechanical properties of steel are influenced diversely by the addition of alloying elements and heat treatment processes, resulting in some high-strength, quenched, and tempered steels or hardened steels.
TiAlN coating increases tool surface hardness to 87Rc.
For machining materials with Hardness < 470 HB: Tensile Strength <1500 N/mm².
About Drill Bit Surface Treatment
Violet / Grey TiAlN (Titanium Aluminium Nitride - TiAlN) A violet/grey finish with a higher hardness than both TiN and TiCN coating utilises aluminium in the coating which imparts greater oxidation stability.
This stability is a result of a very thin film (of Aluminium Oxide) which is formed on the surface of the TiAlN.
This film is self-repairing which leads to increased tool service life.This high-performance coating is able to withstand much higher temperatures which allows increased speeds and feeds and semi-dry machining operations.
TiAlN coating is especially useful when machining cast iron and tough steels.
About Tough Treatable Steel Red Band
The mechanical properties of materials are influenced diversely by the addition of alloying elements and heat treatment processes, resulting in some high-strength, quenched and tempered steels or hardened steels.
This range has its own unique set of machining requirements which are satisfied by the Red Band Series.
TiAlN coating increases tool surface hardness to 87Rc.
For machining materials with Hardness.
