Case Studies
Tests on seven M10 taps in Al 6082 compared oil, minimum quantity lubrication, and dry tapping using torque measurements with Dewesoft SIRIUS and DewesoftX. Oil gave the lowest and most stable torque, while MQL offered a promising lower-consumption alternative. Aluminum-specific DLC-coated taps performed best, but dry tapping proved unreliable.
