DIC Tools is a manufacturer and supplier of Forming Taps used to create internal threads in metal holes. These taps work by changing the shape of the material inside the hole instead of cutting the metal away. Forming taps usually require a larger hole than cutting taps, and the hole size should be selected according to the material and tap specifications. Forming Taps are available with a TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating, which helps resist heat and wear during threading. This coating can help extend the tool’s service life when used under suitable working conditions. The tap forms threads by pressing and shaping the metal, producing a smooth internal thread surface with a rolled finish. Forming Taps are suitable for threading applications where a smooth thread finish and chip-free operation are required. The correct hole size, material, lubrication, and operating conditions are important for achieving good results. DIC Tools supplies Forming Taps to customers in various countries worldwide for different industrial threading applications.
