What is self drilling sms?
A self drilling sms is equipment that can drill a hole directly into the material. The sheet metal screws Screw is designed with different head types and allows for creating a strong connection. These screws are made with a range of alloys having good corrosion resistance. A Selfdriling SMS can be fully or partially threaded, having metric or imperial specifications. They are available in ASME, BS, DIN, ISO, UNI, and DIN-EN standards.

Hot forming vs cold forged self drilling sms
Hot forming and cold forging are two procedures used to manufacture self drilling sms fasteners. Hot forming Self Drillings SMS is the process of heating the equipment at high temperatures till it reaches the desired temperature. This allows it to be ductile and efficiently formed. Cold forging of the sheet metal screws is the displacement process wherein the material is processed further after the hot rolling process. A cold forged sms grade can be shaped in desired sizes and tolerances.

Fully threaded vs partially threaded self drilling sms
A fully threaded sheet metal screws is externally threaded across its length. The Fully Threaded Self Drilling SMS has three basic parts- head, shaft, and tip. The head is on top of the screw which has a pointed edge and allows for easy connection. A Partial Threaded SMS screw is only partially threaded across its length. It has four parts- a head, unthreaded shaft, a threaded shaft, and a tip.
SMS self drilling available in M10 to M100 sizes
How to identify metric and imperial self drilling sms?
An imperial self drilling sms fastener is an American standard measuring system. The Imperial sheet metal screws has a pitch thread that is measured indirectly by the number of teeth per inch. Metric screws cover international standards of self drilling equipment. The Metric screw is measured from the crest from one thread to the other in millimeters.
