Machine taps from high-performance quick-action steel. For through thread and blind hole thread, in unalloyed steels up to 800 N/mm² strength. The thread is cut in one operation. High-speed steel, known primarily as High Speed Steel, is a group of alloy tool steels with up to 2.06% carbon content and up to 30% of alloy elements such as tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, cobalt, nickel and titanium. HSS materials are characterized by high hardness, wear resistance and a warm resistance of up to 600°C. The HSS tools are less sensitive to shocks and vibrations, which can sometimes lead to breaks in the harder cutting materials.This text is machine translated.
