ZELX TI Slow Spiral Flute Taps have a right hand spiral flute design specifically designed to tap R.H. Threads in Titanium and Titanium Alloys. The ZELX TI Taps are made from a PM High Speed material to provide increased productivity as well as increased tap life while tapping Titanium.

Features of ZELX TI
• Suitable surface treatment to prevent welding and enhance wear resistance.
• Optimum flute design to evacuate chips smoothly for each work material.
• Ideal cutting edge design and thread relief for high heat resistance.
• Premium PM High Speed Steel for high heat and wear resistance

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, Inconel, Hastelloy, Waspaloy, 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.
