Thread Former for High Surface Quality in Steel



Walter TC430 thread former for steel.

"Walter has introduced the TC430 Supreme thread former for steel, offering increased tool life in formable steel materials, plus high surface quality on the thread, and a high level of process stability since no chips are formed and the tool cross section is stable," said a Walter USA spokesperson.

The TC430 Supreme thread former, specialized for ISO P materials, is for blind-hole and through-hole threads up to 3.5 x DN. Multiple coolant configurations are offered to best optimize performance-axial or radial coolant, with or without lubrication grooves. This HSS-E-PM thread former with AlCrN or TiN coating is available for metric and metric fine threads. Grade designations are WW60AD and WW60EL.

The tool has a high number of forming edges, and its smooth AlCrN coating minimizes weld formations in materials with high adhesion. It features tolerances of 6HX and 6GX, with dimensions of M2 to M20 metric and metric fine of M8 x 1-M16 x 1.5. The Walter TC430 Supreme is suited for general metalworking as well as the automotive and energy industries.

The Walter lineup of products consists of three categories. Supreme indicates the highest level of technology and performance available. Perform tools are products that provide an economical solution with focused importance on price. Advance indicates product efficiently balanced between price and performance.
