摘要 |
The invention relates to a self-tapping and thread-forming screw (1), having a screw shank (2) with a screw tip (4) at one end and a force application point (6) at the other end for the transmission of torque. The screw shank (2) is composed of a thread section (10), which has the screw tip (4), and an adjoining thread-free shank section (12) which has the force application point (6). The thread section (10) is composed of a shank core (14) and a thread-forming thread (16). The thread section (10) has, in a region remote from the screw tip (4), a core section (20) with a polygonal core cross section which, with its corners (22), defines a circular envelope (24) with a circular envelope diameter (DH) which is greater than the shank diameter (DS) of the thread-free shank section (12).
