HSE (High Vanadium) Tap with TiN Coated

Using High-Speed Steel (HSS) with high vanadium content for taps offers major advantages in tool life, surface finish, and resistance to wear, especially in demanding tapping applications.

Advantages of High Vanadium HSS Taps:
Excellent Wear Resistance – Prolonged cutting edge life in abrasive or high-alloy materials.
Superior Edge Retention – Maintains sharp cutting edges over long production runs.
High Red Hardness – Holds hardness at elevated temps, ideal for high-speed tapping or dry cutting.
Less Edge Chipping – Toughness from vanadium-refined microstructure reduces risk of edge fracture.
Improved Thread Finish – Cleaner, more consistent threads with lower torque requirements.
