Flow drill fastening

Our K-Flow product line offers high quality flow drill fastening solutions for the automotive industry

Meeting future joining challenges

Assembly of electric and other lightweight vehicles increasingly requires joining of new materials, more complex structures and mixed compounds. An effective solution is flow drill fastening, a method suitable for multiple layers of similar and mixed materials, steel and aluminum.

A reliable joint with one-sided access

A main advantage of flow drill fastening is that only one-sided access is required. Used mainly in body shop applications in the automotive industry, the technique utilizes a fastener as both drill and joining element – an efficient and flexible joining technology.
