A Flowdrill friction-drilled connection is known for its high strength, depending on the material, wall thickness, thread size, and application. In many cases, it can be stronger than alternatives such as rivet nuts, blind rivet nuts, or press-in nuts. For example, a friction-drilled connection in 2.0 mm thick steel can withstand a force of up to 2.7 tons, approximately 26.5 kN. This makes it a strong and reliable alternative to conventional mechanical fastening methods.
