ZELX SS Spiral Pointed Taps are designed for difficult jobs including the stainless steel family of materials as well as alloy steels, high carbon steel and ductile irons.Our unique design ZELX SS taps increase productivity through longer tool life. The unique spiral point chamfer makes them ideally suited for the through hole of difficult to machine materials.
The demands for tapping into heat resistant alloys and stainless steels are increasing rapidly in the Aerospace Industry. The most common heat resistant alloys are Nickel base alloys,such as A286, lnconel, Hastelloy, Waspalloy, and Titanium alloys. There are considerable difficulties in tapping these materials due to their material features which can easily cause severe damage to taps.YAMAWA has the best line of taps for such a severe tapping conditions.
