Forming tap

Forming taps are special tools for producing threads in a hole without generating chips. This cold forming process causes extreme compaction of the material and does not break the grain flow of the material. Unlike conventional tapping, no cutting phase is involved in forming the thread. Indeed, due to the particular geometry of the tap, the material is pushed toward the flanks of the thread. The thread thus obtained can withstand high static and dynamic loads.

This process is particularly suitable for producing threaded connections from flow-drilled holes. The structure of the resulting bushing is greatly strengthened while ensuring a very strong thread.
