VÖLKEL BLUE RING Tap Set: Your High-Performance Tool with TiCN Coating
When cutting threads in high-strength steels or tough materials, you need a tool that is not only precise but also extremely durable. The VÖLKEL BLUE RING machine tap set with HSS-E-TiCN coating is made for exactly this purpose. This 7-piece set combines the most common metric dimensions from M3 to M12 in a robust case, offering you unparalleled performance that effortlessly handles even the most demanding materials.
This set is your solution for tasks that require superior wear resistance. Thanks to the special TiCN (Titanium Carbon Nitride) coating, the taps are extremely hard and durable. This allows you to achieve clean, exact threads in materials that would quickly wear out conventional tools.
The set is ideal for:
- Wear-resistant steels up to 1200 N/mm²
- High-alloy and alloyed tool steels
- Tough, short-chipping materials
- Short-chipping stainless steels
Superior Technology for Maximum Performance
The BLUE RING Marking – Your Expert for Hardness
The BLUE RING marking on the shank of the taps signals that these tools are designed for machining high-strength and tough steels. VÖLKEL uses this marking to offer you a product specifically optimized for these challenging materials.
HSS-E-TiCN – Hardness and Wear Resistance
This set is made from HSS-E (High-Speed Steel with Cobalt) and is additionally refined with a TiCN coating. This coating provides excellent wear resistance through improved surface hardness and toughness. This ensures a significantly longer tool life, making them a reliable partner in cutting.
Important: The TiCN coating requires intensive and optimal cooling, as it has a lower heat resistance than other coatings. Therefore, be sure to ensure proper coolant supply to guarantee the maximum performance and service life of the taps.
Form B – Precision for Through Holes and Blind Holes
The lead Form B (4-5 threads) is ideal for most threading applications. This geometry allows for a smoother cut and is therefore suitable for both through holes and blind holes. It offers a balanced compromise between cutting force and chip formation and is especially useful when you need a versatile tool that can be used in various situations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the main advantage of the TiCN coating?
A: The TiCN coating provides increased surface hardness and toughness, leading to excellent wear resistance. This significantly extends the tool's service life, especially when machining tough and abrasive materials.
Q: Can I use these taps without coolant?
A: No, the TiCN coating has a lower heat resistance than other coatings. Intensive and optimal cooling is therefore absolutely necessary to prevent overheating and thus damage to the tool.
Q: What type of holes is Form B best suited for?
A: Form B is a very versatile geometry that is excellent for both through holes and blind holes.
Q: What is the difference between this set and the BLUE RING set with Form C?
A: The main difference lies in the geometry of the lead. Form B is a more universal lead, while Form C (with a right-hand spiral) is particularly optimized for chip evacuation in blind holes. The set described here also has a wear-resistant TiCN coating.
