Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than cut it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. This tap is manufactured from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) coating, giving it elevated heat and wear resistance. The modified bottoming chamfer with 2.5 to 3 chamfered threads allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes. Overall length is 4.33 inches (110 mm) with a thread length of 0.79 inches (20 mm). Coolant-through design supports high-efficiency tapping cycles. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC and manual tapping operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for both blind hole and through-hole threading operations across a wide range of workpiece materials including aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, and titanium. The TiCN coating and cobalt substrate make it particularly capable in harder and more abrasive materials where standard HSS taps would wear prematurely. It carries a 6H class of fit and a D12 thread limit, making it appropriate for precision threading requirements in aerospace, automotive, mold-making, and general machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) action produces stronger threads and eliminates chip evacuation concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides superior heat resistance compared to standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating extends tool life in abrasive and hardened workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2.5 to 3P) enables threading close to blind hole bottoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoolant-through design supports high-speed CNC tapping with internal coolant delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eD12 thread limit and 6H class of fit ensure consistent, precision-tolerance threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for M16x2.00 metric coarse right-hand thread forming in aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, and titanium.

Ensure the spindle is powered down and the workpiece is securely fixtured before tap installation. Adequate lubrication or coolant flow is required for thread forming operations, particularly in steel and nickel alloys. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tapping cycle parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M16x2.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modified Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 to 3P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.33 inches (110 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.79 inches (20 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.13 inches (54 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.480 inches (12.19 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.360 inches (9.14 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.29 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum, Hardened Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Die Steel, Stainless Steel, High-Nickel Alloy, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16150\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade Name\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXOPRO XPF-OIL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.235 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1615016202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731233669426,"sku":"1615016202","price":390.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/279692742061a87d06b545b80fafa0bf_36445780-fa40-4218-a09c-9756b8d87be8.jpg?v=1788728651","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1615016202-thread-forming-tap-m16x2-00-cobalt-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
