Rivets are mechanical fasteners used to join two or more materials by deforming one end (the "tail") to create a permanent clamp. Ideal for applications where welding or threading is impractical, they are available in aluminum, steel (carbon/stainless), brass, or monel, with designs ranging from solid to blind (pop) rivets.
- Material:
- Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant (ideal for automotive/aerospace).
- Carbon Steel: High-strength, zinc-plated for rust prevention.
- Stainless Steel (304/316): Marine-grade, corrosion-resistant.
- Brass/Monel: For decorative or high-temperature applications.
- Size Range:
- Diameter: 2–24 mm (metric) / 3/32"–1" (imperial).
- Length: 4–100 mm (measured from head to tail).
- Design Types:
- Solid Rivets: Require access to both sides; used in structural applications (e.g., aircraft).
- Blind Rivets (Pop Rivets): Installed from one side, ideal for sealed or hard-to-reach surfaces.
- Tubular Rivets: Hollow shank for lightweight, non-load-bearing joins (e.g., leather, fabric).
- Head Styles: Round, countersunk, button, or pan head (varies by application).
- Standard Aluminum Blind Rivets (3–4 mm diameter): 10,000 pieces (in-stock sizes).
- Stainless Steel Solid Rivets: 5,000 pieces (custom lengths available).
- Large-Diameter Rivets (12 mm+):2,000 pieces (industrial-grade).
Factory Advantages: ISO 9001-certified production, precision forming for consistent head dimensions, and support for custom materials (e.g., titanium) or special coatings (e.g., black oxide) with lead times of 7–15 days.
- Aerospace: Assembling aircraft fuselages, wings, and panels (solid aluminum rivets).
- Automotive: Securing body panels, trim, and interior components (blind rivets).
- Construction: Joining metal roofing, gutters, and HVAC ducts (galvanized steel rivets).
- Fashion/Leather Goods: Attaching buttons, snaps, and hardware (brass tubular rivets).
- Strength:
- Solid steel rivets: Shear strength up to 500 MPa.
- Blind rivets: Designed for quick installation with handheld tools.
- Corrosion Resistance:
- Aluminum rivets: Anodized for outdoor use (salt spray ≥500 hours).
- 316 stainless steel: 1,000+ hours salt spray for marine environments.
- Sealing Capability: Closed-end blind rivets prevent water/dust ingress in automotive applications.
- Non-Standard Sizes: Micro rivets (1.5 mm) for electronics or extra-long rivets (200 mm) for thick materials.
- Multi-Material Design: Bi-metal rivets (e.g., steel core + aluminum head) for specific thermal properties.
- Color Options: Powder-coated rivets in custom RAL colors for architectural aesthetics.
- Tool Compatibility: Works with standard rivet guns, pneumatic tools, or automated systems.
- Quality Assurance: 100% visual inspection for head integrity and material consistency.
- Sustainability: Recyclable metal options and low-waste manufacturing processes.
