<p>The hot melt drill is a tapered tool made of special tungsten carbide. It uses high speed rotation and high axial pressure to generate a large amount of frictional heat on a thin tube or plate, where the material at the point of processing is in a &#8220;super plastic&#8221; state and the tool displaces and shapes this part of the material to form a bushing. The height of the bushing can be 3-4 times the thickness of the original workpiece.</p>

Description

<h2>The hot melt drill is a tapered tool made of special tungsten carbide. It uses high speed rotation and high axial pressure to generate a large amount of frictional heat on a thin tube or plate, where the material at the point of processing is in a "super plastic" state and the tool displaces and shapes this part of the material to form a bushing. The height of the bushing can be 3-4 times the thickness of the original workpiece.</h2> <h2>Hot melt drill is widely used in automobiles, motorcycles, construction, decoration, machine tools, machinery, aerospace electronics, electrical appliances, furniture, waterways, shipbuilding and automation equipment and other aspects.</h2> <h2>Classification of hot melt drill:</h2> <h2>This is a flat hot melt tool and will create the internal wall and then cut the excess material away to leave a smooth face</h2> <h2>Used for commonly use thin-walled parts. Suitable for penetrating workpiece thicknesses of 0.8mm-3mm. The cylindrical part of the drill is short, and the hole after extrusion into a conical shape can make the tapping strength stronger.</h2> <h2>Please note that this tool is a consumable, as would be the tapping tool that you would need to tap the hole once the hole has been made.</h2> <h2>While this tool is capable of producing 1000s of flow drilled holes, it does need to be operated in the correct environment.</h2> <h2>Please always use a rolling tap when creating threads as a cutting tap will remove the wall and reduce the strength of the thread created</h2>
