German term or phrase: Fließlochschraube
Fließlochschrauben (FLS)

There is not much context; only that those screws are used in Kalte Fügetechnik - cold joining method.

NPT hex cap screw


Explanation:
the picture [the only one found in a Google picture search] shows a tapeded shaft.
A tapeded thead is connected to the NPT thead (National Pipe Taper thread)
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread#Taper
the second possibility is hex cap screw with tapered shaft,

Fließlochschraube (selbstschneidende Schraube)
self-tapping screw (self-cutting screw)


Explanation:
Falls FLS tatsächlich für "Fließformschraube" steht, ist es anders zu übersetzen.

Gewindeformende Schrauben
Gewindeprägende Schrauben
nach DIN 7500 bilden wie Gewindeformer selbsttätig ein Gewinde in einer Bohrung oder einem Sackloch aus, ohne einen Span zu produzieren. Sie sind meist zur Verwendung in plastisch verformbaren Materialien bis zur Brinellhärte 135 HB bzw. Zugfestigkeit von Rm = 450 N/mm2 geeignet.
:
Gewindeschneidende Schrauben
besitzen Nuten ähnlich einem Gewindebohrer und können in weichen Materialien wie Aluminium eingesetzt werden.
Blechschrauben
und Schrauben für Kunststoff formen ebenfalls ein Gewinde. Schrauben für weiche Kunststoffe weisen eine ähnlich grobe Gewindesteigung auf, wie Holzschrauben. Gewinde für Blech sowie für harte Kunststoffe haben in der Regel eine Steigung, die zwischen derjenigen von Holz- und der von Metallschrauben liegt. Im Gegensatz zu Holzschrauben besitzen sie jedoch oft keine ausgeprägte Spitze und werden selten mit Senkkopf gefertigt.
Bohrschrauben
sind an ihrer Spitze mit 2 Bohrschneiden ausgestattet, die geeignet sind, in Werkstücke ein Loch zu schneiden, in welchem sich das nachfolgende Gewinde selbsttätig verankert. Ebenso wie Blechschrauben besitzen Bohrschrauben ein grobes Gewinde, denn sie eignen sich überwiegend zur Verwendung in dünnen oder weichen Materialien. In dickerem Material ist eine ausreichende Spanabfuhr beim Bohren nicht möglich. In zähen Materialien können Gewinde nur mit spezialisierten Werkzeugen geschnitten werden. …

A possible distinction is that a screw is designed to cut its own thread; it has no need for access from or exposure to the opposite side of the component being fastened to. This definition of screw is further reinforced by the consideration of the developments of fasteners such as Tek Screws, with either round or hex heads, for roof cladding, self-drilling and self-tapping screws for various metal fastening applications, roof batten screws to reinforce the connection between the roof batten and the rafter, decking screws etc.
:
sheet metal screw
Has sharp threads that cut into a material such as sheet metal, plastic or wood. They are sometimes notched at the tip to aid in chip removal during thread cutting. The shank is usually threaded up to the head. Sheet metal screws make excellent fasteners for attaching metal hardware to wood because the fully threaded shank provides good retention in wood.
:
self-drilling screw, Teks screw
Similar to a sheet metal screw, but it has a drill-shaped point to cut through the substrate to eliminate the need for drilling a pilot hole. Designed for use in soft steel or other metals. The points are numbered from 1 through 5, the larger the number, the thicker metal it can go through without a pilot hole. A 5-point can drill a 0.5 in (12.7 mm) of steel, for example.
:
self-tapping machine screw
A self-tapping machine screw is similar to a machine screw except the lower part of the shank is designed to cut threads as the screw is driven into an untapped hole. The advantage of this screw type over a self-drilling screw is that, if the screw is reinstalled, new threads are not cut as the screw is driven.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw

Self-cutting screw for constructions made of aluminium and galvanized steel sheet
Self-cutting screws drill their own tapping hole to close tolerances and form their mating thread themselves. The specially formed and stamped drill point prevents any drifting around the surface of the component and allows rapid sport drilling. There is no longer any need to centre punch the drilling point.

Ach ja, die englische Bezeichnung soll auch noch abgekürzt werden. Nichts leichter als das:
