Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tap technology, specifically to aerospace high-temperature alloy taps. Background Technology

[0002] A tap is a tool for machining internal threads. According to its shape, it can be divided into spiral flute taps, angled taps, straight flute taps, and pipe thread taps. According to the environment in which it is used, it can be divided into hand taps and machine taps. According to its specifications, it can be divided into metric, US, and imperial taps. Taps are the most mainstream machining tool used by operators in the manufacturing industry when tapping.

[0003] A search revealed a high-temperature alloy tap with publication number CN213033829U, comprising a fixing base, a magnetic suction cylinder, and a tap body. The magnetic suction cylinder is fixed to the bottom end of the fixing base, and the tap body is positioned at the center of the bottom end of the magnetic suction cylinder. A first cavity is formed at the bottom of the magnetic suction cylinder, and a second cavity is formed above the first cavity. A retaining post is integrally formed at the upper end of the first cavity. The tap body is inserted into the first cavity, and the retaining post is engaged with the second cavity. Several vertical threaded protrusions are integrally formed around the bottom outer wall of the fixing base, and several vertical grooves are formed around the bottom outer wall of the fixing base.
