The thermal drilling process from Formdrill forms built-in inserts in UNC, UNF, NPT, Metric and Metric Fine threads in steel, stainless, aluminum and copper from .032 in to ½ in thicknesses with hole diameters from .059 in to 1.5 in.

<a href= »https://dobemy.com »>Dobemy</a>. (Dongguan, China), a supplier of <a href= »https://youtu.be/bn_eV1MKkKE »>thermal friction drilling machine</a>, will feature the thermal drilling process to demonstrate how their tools can help form inserts out of the same part’s material. The remarkable fact about these formed inserts is that it only costs about <strong>$0.01</strong> (one U.S. penny) to form and tap them automatically. They are as strong, or stronger, as the equivalent welded nut of the same diameter. The material, which is normally cut using the conventional drilling process, is friction heated enough to soften and displace it to form a bushing that triples the material thickness. This additional wall is then used to tap and Form your Own Inserts. These tapped bushings are used instead of welded nuts, threaded nipples and inserts.

To appreciate the cost savings, the one cent cost per hole is to be compared to the cost of an insert or welded nut and the required labor to install or weld them. Savings can vary, but one user for many years is saving almost $2 dollars per joint since there is no need to cut the hole, clean the burrs, buy the expensive bosses and weld them. Multiplying the $2 savings per joint times the millions of holes they drill per year made it easy to cost-justify the process implementation. Another very significant benefit of the process is that parts can also be designed with lighter/thinner materials. These thermal fiction drilling machine can be formed in UNC, UNF, NPT, Metric and Metric Fine threads in steel, stainless, aluminum and copper from 0<strong>.032 in to ½</strong> in thicknesses. Hole diameters range from 0.059 in to 1.5 in.
<h2>There are several advantages to using thermal friction drilling machine:</h2>
1. Faster drilling speed: Thermal friction drill machine can drill faster than traditional drill bits because they melt and remove material as they drill, rather than relying on cutting or grinding action.

2. Longer lifespan: Thermal drill machine tend to have a longer lifespan than traditional drill bits because they do not produce as much wear and tear on the cutting edge.

3. Reduced heat generation: Because the form drill machine melts the material as it drills, it generates less heat than traditional drill bits. This can be particularly beneficial when drilling through materials that are prone to heat-induced stress or damage.

4. Better hole quality: Thermal friction drill machine can produce holes with a smoother, more consistent finish than traditional drill bits, which can be beneficial for certain applications.

5. Versatility: Thermal friction drill bits can be used on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. They can also be used for drilling through thin or thick materials, and for creating holes of various sizes and shapes.

Come by our <a href= »https://youtu.be/bn_eV1MKkKE »>YouTube channel,</a> see that drill a hole with this very cost-effective process. They will be amazed by the clean, no chips, operation and the feeling of pushing into butter as the metal is heated with the friction and transformed into a plastic state to Form your Own Inserts.
