Flow drilling can be used with virtually all thin-walled metals with a thickness from 0,8 – 12mm, depending on the thread size. For example:
Varnished and organically coated materials such as tin and zinc are only limited suited for flow punch forming / flow drilling. Here it is particularly important, how thick the coating is. Thicker coats must be removed before flow drilling.
