Tap for Machining Cast Iron
April 1, 2016
The new grade D210 for CoroTap 100 - KM is designed for improved wear resistance in dry and wet machining.
Sandvik Coromant has announced a tap for machining cast iron. Designed to maximize productivity, CoroTap 100 - KM features cutting edge technology and offers enhanced results and process security.
An increased number of flutes reduces the force on each cutting edge. The flute shape helps to produce thin and small chips to solve common chip breaking issues found in cast iron machining, as well as in steel materials with hardness between 150 and 190 HB. A back chamfer has been added to let the tap thread deeper while reducing torque and chipping. In addition, the thread and chamfer relief is optimized to reduce contact between the tap and the component and the D210 grade makes this tap more wear resistant.
The D210 grade is a combination of powder steel substrate with high hardness and titanium aluminum nitride with a multi-layer coating that has a smooth surface. This combination provides greater wear resistance in dry and wet machining and minimizes the need for coolant.
"When tested against a competitor product, CoroTap 100-KM showed improved machining results, a secure process and a 70% longer tool life," said a company spokesperson.
