Solution For Tapping On Titanium Alloys by Hand Operation: Effortless Tapping with GSR's Silver Series Hand Taps
Stop struggling with broken taps and seized threads. Discover the engineered solution for high-performance threading in titanium and superalloys.
Have you ever faced the immense frustration of tapping a titanium alloy workpiece? The excessive resistance, the screech of high torque, the dreaded sight of a broken tap—leading to scrapped parts, costly downtime, and plummeting efficiency.
There is a better way. GSR's Silver Series Hand Taps, crafted from high-vanadium cobalt high-speed steel (HSS-E V3), are specifically engineered to solve this exact problem, transforming your toughest threading challenges into smooth, reliable operations
Why Titanium Alloy is a Machining Challenge
Titanium's reputation for being difficult is well-earned. Its unique combination of properties creates a perfect storm for tool failure:
1. Low Thermal Conductivity: Heat doesn't dissipate. Instead, it concentrates in the cutting zone and the tool edge, leading to extremely high temperatures that rapidly soften and degrade the tap.
2. Intense Work-Hardening: Titanium readily forms a hard, brittle surface layer when cut, accelerating tool wear and compromising thread quality.
3. Low Elastic Modulus: This "gumminess" causes the material to deflect under cutting forces, inducing vibration, reducing accuracy, and increasing tool stress.
4. Chip Adhesion: The chips tend to weld onto the cutting edge (built-up edge), which leads to poor surface finish and subsequent tap failure.
The Engineered Solution: GSR Silver Series Hand Taps
Our product isn't just another tap; it's a precision system designed to overcome these challenges.
Product: GSR SILVER 3-Piece Hand Tap Set (HSS-E V3, DIN 352 with Pilot), for Titanium Alloys & High-Strength Steels.
Ideal for: Automotive, aerospace, mold manufacturing, and general machining of titanium, heat-resistant, and stainless steels (tensile strengths up to 1200 N/mm²).
How We Deliver Unmatched Performance
| Feature & Engineering | Your Direct Benefit |
| Premium HSS-E V3 Steel (Böhler, Austria): 3% Vanadium content dramatically increases wear resistance and hot hardness. | 50% Longer Tool Life:Reduced tool consumption and lower cost-per-thread. |
| Optimized Geometry:A large relief angle and negative rake angle are engineered for superalloys, reducing cutting forces and preventing seizing. | Smooth, Reliable Operation:Eliminates chatter and breakage, even in blind holes. |
| Complete 3-Tap Set: • Taper Tap (1 ring): Long chamfer with Pilot for easy starting. • Plug Tap (2 rings): Medium chamfer to cut past the pilot in blind holes. • Bottoming Tap: Short chamfer for finishing to full depth. | Flawless Threads in Any Hole:Achieve perfect, high-quality threads in both through and blind holes. |
| CBN Grinding & Polished Flutes:Ultra-precise manufacturing ensures perfect thread form and superior chip evacuation. | Enhanced Thread Quality & Yield:Minimizes burrs and produces clean, precise threads every time. |
While our taps may have a slightly higher initial cost, their exceptional durability and reliability significantly reduce your total production costs by eliminating downtime, scrapped parts, and constant tool changes.
