Alloy Extrusion Taps are high-performance threading tools designed for creating precision threads in a variety of materials. These taps are manufactured from solid carbide, ensuring superior strength, durability, and wear resistance. They are ideal for extrusion forming processes, where threads are formed by displacing material rather than removing it. This makes them highly efficient and suitable for applications requiring high-quality threads with minimal material waste.
