Taps are the most common method to produce threads in a part. Taps are easy to use and they produce good results, quickly and with little training. Taps can be applied in a multitude of different ways that include hand tapping, pneumatic tapping arms, and canned tapping cycles in CNC machines. There are two different types of taps to choose from when machining aluminum – ’cut taps’ and ’thread forming taps’, which are also known as ’form rolling taps ‘.

The main characteristic of austenitic stainless is the low carbon content combined with high chromium/nickel content. The result is a ductile material with high resistance to machining. Because of its softness, you must use a sharp and positive cutting edge. One of the biggest problems in machining stainless steel 316 is the forming of notch wear at the depth of the cut line, which results in a burr forming on the workpiece. The best method to avoid notch wear is to constantly change the machining depth.Summery:For general Turning of Stainless Steel 316 at stable conditions use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and CVD coating.In case you are running at a cutting speed that is lower than 390 SFM (120 m/min), it is better to use a grade with aSemi Hard substrate and PVD coating.For general Milling use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and PVD coating.For detailed carbide grades recommendations, check the Below Chart, or use the Grades Wizrad.Recommended Cutting speed range for turning at stable conditions is 490 - 660 [SFM] / 150 - 200 [m/min].Recommended Cutting speed range for milling with stable clamping and short overhang is 310 - 410 [SFM] / 95 - 125 [m/min]For detailed cutting speed recomendations, check the Below Table, or use our Speed and Feed Calculator.Equivalent International Designations for Stainless Steel 316StandardNamesae316wnr1.4401dinX5CrNiMo17-13-3bs316S33, 58Jss2343anforZ6CND19.12.03uniX5CrNiMo1713unfF.3543js1SUS316Chemical Composition for Stainless Steel 316ElementAmountChromium (Cr)17%Nickel (Ni)13%Manganese (Mn)2.00%Molybdenum (Mo)1.50%Silicon (Si)0.75%Carbon (C)0.08%Phosphorus (P)0.04%Sulfur (S)0.03%Cutting Speeds Recomendations for Stainless Steel 316* Click on the speeds below for higher precision in specific conditions!ApplicationVc (m/min)Vc (SFM)Turning150-200490-660Milling95-125310-410Parting60-80200-260Grooving90-120300-390Drilling45-60150-200Important!

316 stainless has several variations:NameExplanationMachinability (%)316 (Regular)40%316LL stands for Low Carbon. The carbon amount is 0.03%, vs 0.08% in the other 316 alloys. It is mainly used in pulp-handling equipment, rubber production, and high-temperature equipment.35%316LVMVM stands for Vacuum Melt required to achieve high-level micro-cleanliness. This alloy is mostly used in medical applications such as bone screws35%316NN stands for Nitrogen. It is produced with 0.10–0.16% nitrogen, which improves resistance against pitting and crevice corrosion. 316N is mainly used for chemical handling accessories.~40%316FF stands for Freecut. It has a minimum content of 0.1% of Sulfur, which enhances its machinability. It is primarily used on Swiss-type Machines (Screw Machines) when productivity is a crucial factor.~50%The main characteristic of austenitic stainless is the low carbon content combined with high chromium/nickel content.

It is the most popular stainless steel when high corrosion resistance is required.It is a chromium-nickel-molybdenum stainless with low carbon (0.08%) content. The low carbon content combined with high chromium/nickel/molybdenum amount results in soft material with high resistance to machining and a low machinability rating of 40%.The molybdenum gives 316 better corrosion-resistant properties than 304 stainless, notably higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.It is mainly used in food preparation equipment, laboratory devices, chemical containers, fasteners, and heaf-exchangers.316 stainless has several variations:NameExplanationMachinability (%)316 (Regular)40%316LL stands for Low Carbon. The carbon amount is 0.03%, vs 0.08% in the other 316 alloys. It is mainly used in pulp-handling equipment, rubber production, and high-temperature equipment.35%316LVMVM stands for Vacuum Melt required to achieve high-level micro-cleanliness. This alloy is mostly used in medical applications such as bone screws35%316NN stands for Nitrogen. It is produced with 0.10–0.16% nitrogen, which improves resistance against pitting and crevice corrosion. 316N is mainly used for chemical handling accessories.~40%316FF stands for Freecut. It has a minimum content of 0.1% of Sulfur, which enhances its machinability. It is primarily used on Swiss-type Machines (Screw Machines) when productivity is a crucial factor.~50%The main characteristic of austenitic stainless is the low carbon content combined with high chromium/nickel content. The result is a ductile material with high resistance to machining. Because of its softness, you must use a sharp and positive cutting edge. One of the biggest problems in machining stainless steel 316 is the forming of notch wear at the depth of the cut line, which results in a burr forming on the workpiece. The best method to avoid notch wear is to constantly change the machining depth.Summery:For general Turning of Stainless Steel 316 at stable conditions use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and CVD coating.In case you are running at a cutting speed that is lower than 390 SFM (120 m/min), it is better to use a grade with aSemi Hard substrate and PVD coating.For general Milling use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and PVD coating.For detailed carbide grades recommendations, check the Below Chart, or use the Grades Wizrad.Recommended Cutting speed range for turning at stable conditions is 490 - 660 [SFM] / 150 - 200 [m/min].Recommended Cutting speed range for milling with stable clamping and short overhang is 310 - 410 [SFM] / 95 - 125 [m/min]For detailed cutting speed recomendations, check the Below Table, or use our Speed and Feed Calculator.Equivalent International Designations for Stainless Steel 316StandardNamesae316wnr1.4401dinX5CrNiMo17-13-3bs316S33, 58Jss2343anforZ6CND19.12.03uniX5CrNiMo1713unfF.3543js1SUS316Chemical Composition for Stainless Steel 316ElementAmountChromium (Cr)17%Nickel (Ni)13%Manganese (Mn)2.00%Molybdenum (Mo)1.50%Silicon (Si)0.75%Carbon (C)0.08%Phosphorus (P)0.04%Sulfur (S)0.03%Cutting Speeds Recomendations for Stainless Steel 316* Click on the speeds below for higher precision in specific conditions!ApplicationVc (m/min)Vc (SFM)Turning150-200490-660Milling95-125310-410Parting60-80200-260Grooving90-120300-390Drilling45-60150-200Important!

Both types of taps have their benefits and choosing which type can help productivity significantly. When using a machine tool to tap aluminum, thread forming taps do provide a great argument but like most things in the shop – it comes down to quality, productivity and economics. A prototype or small run may not warrant use of a thread forming tap. However, if you are producing many tapped holes, thread forming taps should be considered.

Thread forming (roll forming) taps deform material to produce the desired thread shape. Since the workpiece is deformed, as opposed to being cut, the produced thread is stronger. The main benefit of the deformation process is that there are no chips produced (and therefore, no chips to manage), so there is no need to select a bottoming, plug or tapered style tap. Another benefit from a forming tap is their better performance in smaller threads, such as 4-40 or M2.5-0.45 threads. However, roll forming taps are limited to use in softer materials that can be deformed, and are not ideal for materials such as cast iron or high hardness materials. Thread forming taps are offered with advanced substrates, coatings and some are even offered with coolant ports. A carbide substrate significantly increases tool life and productivity and can be further enhanced with a high-performance coating that has a positive reaction with non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, like a DLC (diamond like carbon) coating for instance. When tapping smaller threads, roll forming taps are very productive. These taps can be more costly, application specific, and require a different size drill vs. cut taps, as the same 10-32 thread requires a different size drill from a roll forming tap and a cut tap. Roll forming taps also perform the best when the tap is centered and parallel with the hole.

Cut taps are general purpose and very common in the market, with a variety of styles available including straight flute, spiral fluted, spiral pointed, pipe taps, acme taps, S.T.I taps and more. Cut taps are used to cut both ferrous metals and non-ferrous materials alike. Cut taps are designed to remove material as it is fed through a predrilled hole to produce the desired thread shape. The removed material or chip is then guided, depending on the design of the tap. Bottoming taps will bring the chips back towards the entry hole, while plug taps will push the chips down the opposite way (machinist note: plug taps are stronger but must have the clearance to remove the chip). These taps are great to have around the shop for non-production jobs, maintenance jobs, or simply to keep in stock for those unknown projects because of their price point. Most cut taps are made from High Speed Steel (vanadium) and may have a coating for added protection. While they certainly have their benefits, all taps endure a tremendous amount of stress when rotating, and this stress may break or snap the taps. In certain situations, if a tap breaks inside the part, the part must be scrapped, which can be costly. Cut taps do tend to break more often than ‘roll forming taps’.

It is a chromium-nickel-molybdenum stainless with low carbon (0.08%) content. The low carbon content combined with high chromium/nickel/molybdenum amount results in soft material with high resistance to machining and a low machinability rating of 40%.The molybdenum gives 316 better corrosion-resistant properties than 304 stainless, notably higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.It is mainly used in food preparation equipment, laboratory devices, chemical containers, fasteners, and heaf-exchangers.316 stainless has several variations:NameExplanationMachinability (%)316 (Regular)40%316LL stands for Low Carbon. The carbon amount is 0.03%, vs 0.08% in the other 316 alloys. It is mainly used in pulp-handling equipment, rubber production, and high-temperature equipment.35%316LVMVM stands for Vacuum Melt required to achieve high-level micro-cleanliness. This alloy is mostly used in medical applications such as bone screws35%316NN stands for Nitrogen. It is produced with 0.10–0.16% nitrogen, which improves resistance against pitting and crevice corrosion. 316N is mainly used for chemical handling accessories.~40%316FF stands for Freecut. It has a minimum content of 0.1% of Sulfur, which enhances its machinability. It is primarily used on Swiss-type Machines (Screw Machines) when productivity is a crucial factor.~50%The main characteristic of austenitic stainless is the low carbon content combined with high chromium/nickel content. The result is a ductile material with high resistance to machining. Because of its softness, you must use a sharp and positive cutting edge. One of the biggest problems in machining stainless steel 316 is the forming of notch wear at the depth of the cut line, which results in a burr forming on the workpiece. The best method to avoid notch wear is to constantly change the machining depth.Summery:For general Turning of Stainless Steel 316 at stable conditions use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and CVD coating.In case you are running at a cutting speed that is lower than 390 SFM (120 m/min), it is better to use a grade with aSemi Hard substrate and PVD coating.For general Milling use a grade with a Semi Hard substrate and PVD coating.For detailed carbide grades recommendations, check the Below Chart, or use the Grades Wizrad.Recommended Cutting speed range for turning at stable conditions is 490 - 660 [SFM] / 150 - 200 [m/min].Recommended Cutting speed range for milling with stable clamping and short overhang is 310 - 410 [SFM] / 95 - 125 [m/min]For detailed cutting speed recomendations, check the Below Table, or use our Speed and Feed Calculator.Equivalent International Designations for Stainless Steel 316StandardNamesae316wnr1.4401dinX5CrNiMo17-13-3bs316S33, 58Jss2343anforZ6CND19.12.03uniX5CrNiMo1713unfF.3543js1SUS316Chemical Composition for Stainless Steel 316ElementAmountChromium (Cr)17%Nickel (Ni)13%Manganese (Mn)2.00%Molybdenum (Mo)1.50%Silicon (Si)0.75%Carbon (C)0.08%Phosphorus (P)0.04%Sulfur (S)0.03%Cutting Speeds Recomendations for Stainless Steel 316* Click on the speeds below for higher precision in specific conditions!ApplicationVc (m/min)Vc (SFM)Turning150-200490-660Milling95-125310-410Parting60-80200-260Grooving90-120300-390Drilling45-60150-200Important!
