Tools & Gear Taps & Dies Colour Band High Performance Taps

TOUGH TREATABLE STEELRED BAND The mechanical properties of materials are influenced diversely by the addition of alloying elements and heat treatment processes - resulting in some high-strength - quenched and tempered steels or hardened steels. This range has its own unique set of machining requirements which are satisified by the Red Band Series. TiAlN coating increases tool surface hardness to 87Rc. For machining materials with Hardness < 470 HB : Tensile Strength <1500 N/ mm2.
