The main problem of shaping threaded holes in sheet blanks with a thickness of less than two millimeters is to obtain a threaded surface that provides the necessary strength of the threaded connection. The method of forming holes with flanges in sheet blanks by rotating punch (thermal drilling) has wide technological capabilities. The rotational speed of the punch, as well as its axial feed, affect the shape, size and properties of the material of the resulting hole, which in its turn affects the length of the screwing and the strength of the threaded joint.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
