Carbon fiber and glass fiber are often used as reinforcing materials in high-strength composites.
They differ in:
• Weight
• Stiffness
• Toughness
• Cost
Thread Machining Characteristics
Chips may be:
• Powdered
• Granular
Potential problems include:
• High-speed steel tool wear
• Reduced tool life
• Springback
• Thread shrinkage
• Unstable thread dimensions

• Solid Carbide Spiral Fluted Taps – J.SpT.SC
• Welded Carbide Spiral Fluted Taps – J.SpT.WC
• Solid Carbide Straight Fluted Taps – J.StT.SC
• Welded Carbide Straight Fluted Taps – J.StT.WC
• Thread Mills
For fiber-containing composites, tool wear resistance is one of the important factors in thread machining evaluation.
