14 GENERAL INFORMATION TREAD FORMING Thread production by pressure deformation Fluteless taps are used for the forming of internal threads without chip removal. In contrast to conventional tapping where material is cut from the workpiece, thread forming is a pressure deformation process without chip removal for the production of internal threads. During the process the material is cold formed without interrupting the grain flow. According to DIN 8583, thread forming is described as pressing the thread into the workpiece with a tool possessing a spiral working area. The spiral threaded, polygonal portion of the fluteless tap is screwed into the pre-drilled workpiece with an appropriate constant feed rate equal to the thread pitch. ereby the thread profile is pressed gradually via the forming lead into the material of the workpiece so to speak. Subsequently, the pressure in the deformation zone exceeds the compression limit, the workpiece becomes ductile and is deformed. The material yields radially, flows along the thread profile in the unoccupied base of the tool and forms the minor diameter of the nut thread. The flow process creates the process specific form pockets (claws). The tapping size hole diameter is heavily dependent on the formability of the material, the workpiece geometry and the required effective depth of the thread. In comparison to conventional tapping, a larger diameter tapping size hole should be selected. With a larger diameter tapping size hole the load on the tool is reduced whilst increasing the tool life. Thanks to the uninterrupted grain flow, the loading capacity of the thread remains sufficient with a 50% effective thread depth. The partially formed crests of the thread with decreasing effective thread depth are a typical characteristic of threads produced by the thread forming process. With the flanks of the thread fully formed, they have no influence on the tensile strength of the thread. If necessary, the required deformation level of the thread should be determinded by performing a test. Lubrication is of significant importance. The lubrication prevents material from building up on the thread flanks and ensures that the necessary torque for the forming process is not too high. Therefore, under no circumstances should there ever be a break-down in lubrication! reference should be given to lubricants such as cooling agents of oils containing graphite such as those used in rolling processes. Always follow the rule: The better the lubrication the easier the thread forming process! It offers the following advantages: no chip formation. one tool for the production of threads in through and blind holes. application in wide range of materials. no cutting errors. pitch and angle of thread errors that can occur with thread cutting are eliminated. internal threads produced by thread forming possess a higher tensile strength particularly at the thread flanks thanks to the so-called uninterrupted grain flow and the cold forming process. the surface of the thread is improved. fluteless taps can be applied at higher speeds because the formability of many materials increases with the forming speed. This does not have a negative effect on the tool life. reduced danger of breakage through rigid design rocess The production of internal threads without chip removal (thread forming) in comparison to conventional tapping Flow characteristics of the material during thread forming and the deformation process pressure points Fluteless tap flutes Conventional tap D = nom.-ø D2 = flank-ø Dk = hole-ø = profile height = pitch A = form pocket (claw) finished nut thread fluteless tap oil grooves D 2 D k formed thread forming lead cut thread chamfer lead D A forming lead workpiece 14

15 rofile - Guhring s new fluteless tap generation Characteristics and advantages GENERAL INFORMATION TREAD FORMING Conventional fluteless taps, produced by a grinding process only, show traces of microscopic, very fine grinding marks on the surface of the tool. This also applies to the threaded portion of the tool required to perform the thread forming operation. This surface topography (structure) has a negative effect on the friction between the tool and the material to be re-formed as well as on the herewith associated heat development, on the necessary torque and last but not least on the wear of the pressure points of the fluteless tap. In addition, the grinding marks encourage the build-up of the material to be re-formed in the thread flanks of the fluteless tap. This is also called cold welding. Thanks to a special process to improve the surface topography (structure), Guhring s new rofile fluteless taps no longer possess these grinding marks. This has been confirmed in research and tool life studies in varying materials under production conditions. For the user, a longer tool life and increased cutting speeds are the benefits of this special process. The tool life can be increased considerably depending on the material to be machined and the application condi-tions. A 100% increase in tool life is not unusual. The improved surface topography is not only of benefit to tools with bright finish. articularly coated tools also benefit from the new process. Outer contour and forming lead greatly determine the performance of the fluteless tap. Numerous tests have shown that fluteless taps with optimal pressure point geometry and quantity achieve increased tool life and dimensional accuracy. Further improvements in quality are achieved when the fluteless tap is produced completely in one setting and with one grinding wheel - set-up with a special roll. itch errors between the thread crests and former lead transition area do not occur as with the conventional grinding process.

The fit has to be selected in conjunction with the appropriate thread connection. The tolerance zones of the tolerance classes fine, medium and coarse are allocated to three screw-in lengths short S), normal (N) and long (L). Generally, the following rules apply for selecting a tolerance class: Medium tolerance zone (N): General application Coarse tolerance zone (L): There are no special precision requirements and in cases where production difficulties may occur, e.g. thread production in hot-rolled rods, deep blind holes or plastic components. Fine tolerance zone (S): For precision threads, when only a small variation in the fit is permitted. Screw-in lengths The quality of thread connection is also affected by the screwin length. The ISO tolerance system was, especially as regards the pitch diameter, divided into three groups, i.e. The following fit should be selected for normal screw-in length N: To ensure a tighter fit of thread connections, we recommend for short screw-in lengths a narrower fit. S (Short) = short screw-in length N (Normal) = normal screw-in length L (Long) = long screw-in length 16

17 GENERAL INFORMATION TREAD FORMING Tapping size hole diameter With fluteless tapping, the tapping size hole diameter influences the distinction of the formed thread. A too small tapping size hole diameter results in an over-forming of the thread which must definitely be prevented because this can lead to tool breakage. A too large tapping size hole is acceptable with certain tolerances because formed threads have a sufficient loading capacity from a 50% bearing depth. The thread M18x1.5 mm example clearly shows the influence of the tapping size hole diameter selection: M 18 x M 18 x M 18 x re-drilling Ø 17.1 mm re-drilling Ø 17.3 mm re-drilling Ø 17.4 mm Tapping size hole diameter is too small: thread over-formed no form pocket (claw) profile too high Optimal tapping size hole diameter: thread fully formed small form pocket (claw) optimal height of profile Tapping size hole diameter is too large: thread not formed large form pocket (claw) height of profile too low min. max. Tapping size hole diameter tolerance zone to DIN 13, part 50 Influence of the tapping size hole on tool life, torque and process reliability The optimisation of the pre-drilling diameter is especially worthwhile in mass production. The larger it is, the longer the tool life and the less the required torque is. The graphic clearly shows the relationship. Tool life Torque Minimum dimension Nominal dimension Maximum dimension 17

18 GENERAL INFORMATION TREAD FORMING Lubrication for thread forming For tool design four different cases should be differentiated between. Vertical machining of a blind hole Vertical machining of a through hole (> 1.5xD N ) Lubrication grooves and internal coolant delivery is not necessary; external coolant delivery is sufficient (Axial coolant is recommended for very deep threads). Lubrication grooves are required; internal coolant delivery is not necessary. Via the lubrication grooves the externally delivered coolant can advance to the form edges (Radial coolant is recommended for very deep threads). orizontal machining of blind hole orizontal machining of through hole Lubrication grooves and internal coolant delivery is necessary. Axial coolant exit is sufficient. Lubrication grooves are required. Internal coolant delivery with radial exit is recommended. Cooling lubricants with fluteless taps With fluteless taps the main task of the coolant is lubrication. The better the lubrication with the maximum concentration, the longer the tool life. There are two different types of lubricant: Oil based lubricants These are mineral oils with the best lubricating characteristics. They reduce friction and achieve optimal life. Soluble lubricants These soluble lubricants are a concentrate thinned to an emulsion prior to the use with water. The concentration must not be below 6%. A content more than 12% is ideal in order to achieve a long life thanks to a good lubrication effect Tool life Concentration content of the cooling lubricant (in %) Friction 18
