What is the difference between stainless steel taps and ordinary taps?.

What is the difference between stainless steel taps and ordinary taps?.

Answer:

If it is made by tapping machine, the reasons are as follows:1, the tap material is not good;2, tapping machine precision is not enough (especially when machining small specifications thread hole, easy to break tap);3, tap chuck and inappropriate selection (tap chuck are now generally used in torque protection, but must choose imported torque to achieve effective protection of the tap collet effect. Like Italy Aisimu SCM torsion chuck is a very good product, he is the inventor of the collet torque);4, machine selection: mainly depends on how large thread you want to process the screw hole, as well as the requirements of precision, and so on. If it is a thread hole processing small specifications (e.g. tapping range M0.5-M5, can be used in Germany Meiko Taipu microtap micro threading machine, he can set the torque of the motor, in the real sense to tap the protection effect.)
As for the problem of broken tap, see what you are processing, such as manual or machining centers, professional tapping equipment. If it is manual processing, it is possible that the tap itself is not suitable for processing stainless steel, and there is the operation of the above reasons.
The quality of stainless steel taps is different from that of ordinary taps, and special taps usually have coatings (such as TiN, etc.).
