Hot Drilling and Thermal Drilling Services

HD Metal provides hot drilling, also known as thermal drilling or flow drilling, for metal tubes and hollow sections. The friction-based process forms a reinforced bushing around the hole, creating additional material depth for tapping or secure threaded connections without welding a separate nut.

The process is suitable for selected steel, stainless steel and other compatible tube materials subject to material, wall thickness and hole-size review. It is useful for frames, furniture components, machinery parts, handrails and fabricated assemblies that require strong, repeatable mounting points.
