WHY THREAD FORMING / TAPPING ?
Material Compatibility
Thread Forming/Tapping can be used with a wide range of materials including plastics, composites, and metals. Welding, on the other hand, is generally limited to metals or materials that can withstand the high temperatures involved in the process.
Joint Integrity
Thread Forming/Tapping creates a threaded connection with unmatched strength and durability that can resist vibrations and loosening over time. Welding, while also capable of creating strong connections, may introduce residual stresses or distortions in the material which can affect joint integrity.
Cost-Effectiveness
Thread Forming/Tapping typically requires less equipment, setup, and the need for skilled labor compared to welding, which uses additional materials such as welding consumables or filler metals.
Versatile and Reliable
No matter what the industry or application, thread forming delivers outstanding results from automotive to aerospace or plumbing to electronics.
Aesthetic Considerations
Thread forming/Tapping creates a clean, flush, and aesthetically pleasing appearance embedded within the material, not protruding such as a weld nut assembly.
