Hand tap are a new type of thread that uses the principle of metal plastic deformation to process internal threads. Squeezing internal threads in Hand tap is a chip free machining process, especially suitable for copper alloys and aluminum alloys with low strength and good plasticity. It can also be used for tapping materials with low hardness and high plasticity such as stainless steel and low carbon steel, with a long service life.

The surface smoothness of the threads extruded by Cutting tap is high, the metal fibers of the threads do not break, and a cold hard layer is formed on the surface, which can improve the strength and wear resistance of the threads. It fundamentally solves the problem of chip removal in tapping, and due to the absence of chips, it is more conducive to thread assembly. Widely used in the electronics and plastics industries.

Tap manufacturer Used for processing ordinary internal threads on nuts or other components (i.e. tapping) machine tap usually refers to high-speed steel grinding tap, suitable for tapping on machine tools; Hand tap refers to a carbon tool steel or alloy tool steel rolling (or cutting) tap, suitable for Manual tapping.
