The Walter Paradur® and Prototex® taps are the aerospace specialists for threading titanium and nickel-based super alloys. Greer, SC – Walter has expanded the range of its Paradur® Ti Plus and Paradur® Ni 10 and Prototex® TiNi Plus tap lines, specifically by increasing its existing portfolio for J profiles with extensive new dimensions. Screw threads with J profiles feature a root radius, which improves the tensile stress area of the fastener and helps reduce the stress concentration factor in the thread to make the thread stronger. The minor diameter of J-profile threads is curved to minimize stress points created by sharp edges or corners, which can break due to vibration. Threads with the J profile are particularly preferred in the aerospace industry for difficult-to-machine materials.
