Tap is a tool used for machining internal threads. Taps are usually composed of a working part and a shank. The working part includes a cutting part and a calibration part. The cutting part undertakes the main task of cutting the workpiece material to form threads. It usually has several cutting edges distributed in a spiral shape. The calibration part is used to calibrate and trim the cut threads to ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the threads. The shank is generally cylindrical and is used for clamping and transmitting torque so that the tap can be rotated into the workpiece.The tap cuts into the workpiece material step by step through rotation and axial feed, cuts off the material and forms an internal thread. During the cutting process, the spiral groove of the tap plays a role in guiding the chip removal and also helps the coolant flow into the cutting area to reduce the cutting temperature and reduce tool wear.
Classification
1. According to usage, it can be divided into hand taps and machine taps. Hand taps are usually used for manual operations. The shank is generally square-headed for easy clamping with a wrench. Machine taps are used for machine tool processing. The shank is usually cylindrical and can be used in conjunction with machine tool fixtures.
2. According to materials, it can be divided into high-speed steel taps, carbide taps, etc. High-speed steel taps have high toughness and wear resistance and are suitable for processing general materials. Carbide taps have higher hardness and wear resistance and are suitable for processing materials with higher hardness.
3. According to thread types, it can be divided into ordinary thread taps, pipe thread taps, taper thread taps, etc., which are used to process different types of threads respectively.
Advantages
1. High machining accuracy: It can machine internal threads with accurate dimensions and good surface quality.
2. Strong applicability: It can process various materials, including metals, plastics, woods, etc.
3. Convenient operation: Hand taps can be used for thread machining without a machine tool and are suitable for small-scale repairs and on-site operations.
| Precautions for Use |
| Select the appropriate tap |
According to the thread type, material and size to be machined, select the appropriate tap specification and material. |
| Correct installation and clamping |
Ensure that the tap is firmly installed and clamped stably during the machining process to avoid shaking and offset. |
| Control cutting parameters |
Reasonably control the cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth to avoid damage to the tap due to excessive cutting. |
| Use coolant |
Using coolant during the machining process can reduce the cutting temperature, reduce tool wear and improve machining quality. |
| Pay attention to chip removal |
Clean the chips in time to avoid chip blockage in the spiral groove and affect the machining effect and tap life. |
