Innovative Thread Milling

Materials that require threads to be milled rather than tapped are usually very complex alloys created for components or parts designed for long-term use. These alloys are typically created with a higher-than-average hardness, abrasiveness and heat resistance. In the last 10 years, there has been more demand for materials suitable for challenging aerospace/defense applications, such as nickel alloys (Inconel), stainless steels, titanium and even aluminum.
