Friction Drilling | Reliable and Cost-reducing

How it works

The Market Leader in Friction Drilling

When using thin-walled material, you have limited options available for creating a threaded connection. When using an insert nut, weld nut or welded boss, the strength of the material is affected and increases the chance of a weakened connection. Flowdrill is the solution to this common problem. Flowdrill creates a strong, reliable and repeatable connection using the parent with miniman/no waste.

The first idea for using frictional heat to form a hole was developed in France in 1923. Unfortunately, the right raw materials and machinery to produce friction drills did not yet exist. Through technical development and inventiveness, the friction drill was first developed and commercialised by Flowdrill in 1980.

Our product is used by thousands of customers in more than fifty countries worldwide. We produce our Flowdrill in-house, using our advanced technical knowledge and fully automated machines to assure the highest quality products.
