How to cut correctly

Threads can be applied to almost any metals and their alloys - steel, copper, aluminum, cast iron, bronze, brass, etc. It is not recommended to do it on hot iron - it is too hard, it will crumble during operation and it will not be possible to achieve high-quality turns, which means the connection will be unreliable.

Tool for the job

Preparation

You need to work on clean metal - remove rust, sand and other contaminants. Then the place where the thread will be applied must be lubricated (except for cast iron and bronze - they must be worked “dry”). There is a special emulsion for lubrication, but if it is not there, you can use soaked soap. You can also use other lubricants:

You can often hear advice to use machine or mineral oil or even lard when cutting threads. They work well, but experts say that it is better not to do this - the chips will stick to the viscous substance, which will lead to rapid wear of the tap or die.

Slicing process

When cutting external threads, the die is placed strictly perpendicular to the surface of the pipe or rod. During operation, it should not wiggle, otherwise the turns will turn out uneven and the connection will be ugly and unreliable. The first turns are especially important. How they “lay down” determines whether the connection will then be skewed.

By applying the internal thread, the part is fixed motionless. If it is a small piece, you can clamp it in a vice. If the plate is large, ensure its immobility using available methods, for example, by fixing it with bars. M

The tap is inserted into the hole so that its axis is parallel to the axis of the hole. With little effort, little by little, they begin to twist in the given direction. As soon as you feel that the resistance has increased, unscrew the tap back and clear it of chips. After cleaning, the process continues.

Photo cutting process

When cutting a thread in a blind hole, its depth should be slightly greater than required - this excess should include the tip of the tap. If this is structurally impossible, the tip of the tap is cut off. At the same time, it is not suitable for further use, but there is no other way out.

In order for the turns to be of high quality, two taps or dies are used - rough and finishing. The first pass is done as a rough pass, the second as a finishing pass. There are also combined devices for applying threads. They allow you to do everything in one pass.

Another practical tip: to prevent chips from getting into the working area, when cutting, make one full turn clockwise, then half a turn counterclockwise. After this, return the tool to the place where you stopped and make one revolution again. Continue this way until the required length.

Design features

At first, the internal thread was cut using simple devices in the form of a tetrahedral rod sharpened to a cone. At the conical end, cutting teeth were cut out, which, when screwing the rod into the hole, scratched a thread into it. Further improvements resulted in the tap having a positive rake angle, chip ejection flutes, and a better fit of the cutting edges to the thread profile.

A modern tap contains the following mandatory structural elements:

  • The head (or intake) part is in the shape of a gentle cone, which serves to begin the formation of the thread profile.
  • A certain number (2-6) of lateral grooves that provide chip removal and lubricant (coolant) flow.
  • The calibrating part, in the form of an extended cylinder, completes the precise formation of the profile.
  • A shank used to secure the tap in the chuck or collar clamping device.

The following types of chip flutes are distinguished:

  • Single-radius - the cross-section is an arc of a circle, used on calibration tools.
  • Straight - U-shaped cross-section, used for cutting nut threads.
  • Mixed - straight front and arched back. This is how most universal tools are made.

Types of tap grooves

In addition, the grooves are divided into:

  • Straightforward. Used in a universal tool.
  • Left spiral. Left-handed ones are used for cutting threads for passage. The chips are pushed into the space in front of the tap, thus protecting the already formed profile from damage.
  • Right spiral. Right-handed taps are used for cutting blind holes; with such grooves, chips are pushed out and do not clog the hole.

The conical shape of the head makes it easier to center the tap in the hole and start cutting the first threads of the thread. The angle of inclination of the cone varies between 3° and 20°, the specific value is determined based on the purpose of the tool - roughing, intermediate or finishing pass.

The cylindrical part is actually an inverse cone with a very small taper angle. The underestimation reaches 0.1 mm, this helps reduce friction during cutting.

Main tap sizes:

  • thread pitch;
  • profile height;
  • full profile height;
  • outer thread diameter;
  • length of the fence part;
  • fence cone angle;
  • backing amount.

In addition, the tools are divided into taps with left-hand and right-hand threads.

Types of metric threads

GOST 6211-81 (St Sev 1159-78) basic standards of interchangeability. conical pipe thread

Metric threads are classified according to the following parameters.

  1. Location of turns. Internal metric threads are found in the holes of parts and products. Taps are used for cutting. External metric threads on rods are obtained using dies.
  2. Direction of turns. Based on this feature, metric threads are divided into right-handed and left-handed.
  3. Step size. The most common are connections with large (standard) pitch. Increasing the number of turns leads to increased reliability. However, the formation of metric threads with fine pitch is possible on workpieces and products made of high-strength materials.

Image No. 5: metric thread with coarse and fine pitch

  1. Number of visits. Metric threads can be single or multi-start. Increasing the number of visits, if necessary, increases the reliability of connections and solves other production problems.

Application of inch threads

To ensure high strength of the created connection with the USA and Canada, the threads in question with an apex angle of 60 degrees are used. An exception is the production of plumbing fixtures. Bolts with inch threads are also found in Europe. They are characterized by high strength. In addition, a screw with an inch thread can be used to create various equipment and mechanisms.

Inch threads in the pipeline ensure high quality connections, since the pipe connection must withstand high pressure and variable loads. However, it began to be used in the production of various equipment, for example, cameras. Some metric versions are similar in their parameters to inch, which provides versatility of use.

In conclusion, we note that English industrial carving should not be confused with that which is widely used today. The old model was used as early as 1841. This version of the design almost completely repeats the one under consideration, but there are still distinctive features. It is worth considering that screws and nuts with such turns do not mate with inch fasteners, which are widely used in America and Canada.

Taper thread cutting technology

In the industrial production of npt, threading is performed on a specialized threading machine using a swordsman mounted on a rotating spindle, which automatically forms threads on a stationary pipe.

Design and types of taps

The tap consists of parts:

  • shank;
  • working part;
  • fence element;
  • calibration.

Using a shank, the tap is secured in the machine spindle or in a chuck when cutting a threaded connection inside a pipe. The cutting is done by a working part that resembles a screw with spiral grooves. The front part of the tap is often called the fence element, which has the shape of a cone. It is the intake element that begins cutting the thread, then calibration continues. The carving is made by teeth called cutting feathers, which form recesses - grooves through which chips are removed. Sharpening of teeth is subject to technology requirements for cutting parts.

Tap selection

The choice of tap depends on the purpose; they can be hand-held or machine-made. Hand tools are:

  • spot;
  • uterine;
  • nut;
  • special.

A die tool is used to pre-cut a threaded connection in one pass. Cleaning of chips is carried out with a mother device with grooves in the right direction.

Grooveless devices are more durable, and the length of the screwed part makes it possible to reconfigure the tool repeatedly. The advantage of grooveless taps is their high productivity and versatility - they can process pipes and blind joints.

By type of work, roughing and finishing taps are distinguished, which are marked according to the size of the thread made by this tool:

  • For threads according to the metric standard 8...18 mm, single counters are used.
  • In the range of 6…24 mm, a roughing and finishing tap is used.
  • Threads 2...52 mm are cut with 3 counters.

Taps have straight and screw versions, right and left, and the cutting part is conical and cylindrical. Conical threads are cut in pipes with through holes, cylindrical ones are used where there are no through passages.

Slicing process

The thread cutting process occurs in stages in several stages:

  1. Set the direction and speed of spindle rotation.
  2. The workpiece is fixed in a certain place.
  3. A tap of a certain standard size is mounted on the spindle, fixing its head with a supporting clamp.
  4. Turn on the electric drive of the device.
  5. The threading head is moved to the tubular product by a control lever.
  6. The workpiece and the thread-cutting tool are fixed and matched with an automatic roller; the machine performs cutting of grooves of the given parameters in automatic mode.
  7. Having completed the operation, the support with the tap rises automatically, the electric drive is turned off, and the workpiece is dismantled from the machine.
  8. The accuracy of the geometric parameters is checked and corrections are made if defects are detected.

A conical thread profile is used in cases where communications require complete tightness of the connections of individual pipe elements. The method of tapered threads is invaluable when repairing worn connections on utility pipelines in winter - NPT tapered threads will help restore tightness.

Features of inch tapered thread

GOST 6211-81. basic norms of interchangeability. conical pipe thread

Inch tapered threads have found their application in the industrial sector of Europe and the USA. This type of cutting is used for the manufacture of couplings, elbows, tees, locknuts and other pipe connections. Due to their strength, tapered threads are used in the production of compass gears, screw structures and fasteners for the creation of plumbing fixtures, household appliances and computers, including PCs.

This type of cutting has the following features:

  • The tips and turns of inch tapered threads are trimmed or blunted, which provides better tightness;
  • the profile angle is constant and equals 55°;
  • the conical surface is always at an angle and deviates in a proportion equal to 1:16;
  • the maximum cone diameter is 6'';
  • the vertices of the thread triangle are always cut or blunted;
  • the main cutting parameters (external, internal and average diameters, stroke and pitch) are tabular values.

This type cannot be combined with a cylindrical thread type to create special connections. This is due to different values ​​of the profile angles. If the angle of an inch conical thread is 55°, then the standard cylindrical thread angle is 60°.

This property is due to the conical shape of the helical surface. During tension, the coils are compacted, forming a strong, tight connection and sealing the external cavities of pipes and fastening structures. This feature automatically disappears when the coils are dismantled or recreated.

Most of the parameters of inch tapered threads are indicated in special regulatory reference books, where dimensions and other technical characteristics are recorded in tabular form. The development of all parts and clearances must be carried out within the established values. Otherwise, the structures will not be able to fit tightly together. Mechanisms connected using this type of cutting are easily reconstructed and installed due to the elimination of external defects and deformations of the connections through the tight arrangement of all turns.
