Product Information

These rivets offer incredible fastening capabilities for both light and heavy-duty applications. This makes them valuable for several applications, ranging from aircraft to submarines and sheet-metal assemblies. They are also beneficial for supporting tensile and shear loads. Compression Tubular Rivets– these rivets consist of two parts with an interference fit during the fastening process. Their commercial use is in soft materials and needs aesthetics on both sides of the component. Aluminum is another metal variant with a renowned usage for rivets and fasteners. It is recognized for its tenderness and its lightweight attribute. Aluminum material offers a strong deterioration resistance, and it is suitable for several applications. Furthermore, aluminum is quite malleable; hence, it allows you to create complex part configurations easily. Brass Professional and amateur jewelry manufacturers include riveting as a cold joining technique in their operations. Jewelry producers can easily employ riveting to achieve cold connections by using some instructional videos, basic metal forming skills, and some common tools. Riveting has made it quite possible for fabricators to connect metallic pieces in jewelry without necessarily soldering. Joints Semi-Tubular Rivets– these types of rivetshave their holes in the field end. The hole depth is usually about 1.12 of the shank diameter. Thus, the semi-tubular rivet may feel like a solid rivet upon forming the field head.

Rivet’s primary purpose is to ensure a firm and reliable tightening of two or more metallic or wooden materials. When you do this, you have a joint stronger than that of a screw with the same diameter. With these vast materials, rivets now have unlimited applications. Therefore, it is advisable to select a rivet-making material that matches the properties of the parts you are about to join together. Steel Full Tubular Rivets– they have deeper holes than their counterparts. They are also usually weaker than semi-tubular rivets. However, they can easily pierce softer materials like fabric and plastic.Rivets are a better substitute for screws, bolts, and nuts. They prove more efficient and reliable than all other connectors. Today, different types of rivetshave various purposes. This is a result of the dynamic nature of machines and structures. However, you have to choose suitable metal rivetsfor your applications to get the best results. This article will guide you through the various types of rivets and their uses. Let’s get right to it! An Overview of Rivets What i s a Rivet? Rivets are quite an essential tool in machine and structure construction. You can install rivets either through drilling, punching, or placing them in a hole and deforming the tail. The most popular riveting process includes drilling a hole in parts to be riveted. This is because it is much simpler and more accessible. Flush rivets, also countersunk rivets are used on external surfaces to ensure a good appearance and eliminate aerodynamic drag. Hole sizes are extremely important for the proper functionality of blind rivets. We specify a hole size for every rivet we manufacture. A rivet is only guaranteed to function as designed when the hole size is within the prescribed range. Additionally, the design engineer should calculate the manufacturing tolerances of the hole to ensure proper fit so that interference issues will not occur later.

Also referred to as bifurcated rivets, split rivets are closely related to self-piercing rivets. They are the best options for joining softer materials like leather, plastic, and wood.

Design Considerations

Welded joints have lighter weights than rivet joints. This is because of the rivets and strap-plates in use. Pull-Mandrel Rivets– are special double countersunk blind rivets providing flush surface clinches on both sides of their applications. Here, the mandrel head doesn’t break away, providing consistent clamp force. In addition, the tight radial set in these rivets increases structural rigidity. Since there is a need for extensive cold forming for these rivets, it is essential that they are very ductile and are of low-strength metals. As a result, tubular rivets are popular in commercial applications. Some of the specific tubular rivets types are: Brass is a flexible, low-friction, and supple material. It has quite a fascinating resistance to tarnish and equally high strength. As a result of its properties, Brass cannot create sparks. These attributes render brass rivets the most suitable kind in gas appliances. Copper

In other words, you can create a dumbbell-sized rivet by pounding or pulling to break off the tail flatter on one end and create a new head on the other head. After that, the tail takes the shape of a dumbbell. This way, the joint has been riveted. Disadvantages of Rivets RapidDirect provides essential CNC machining metal rivets. We also deliver the best custom precision CNC machining servicesfor prototyping and production machining. Our expert technicians have the right experience to provide the best services for desired results with fast lead times. Steels with low carbon properties are suitable for rivets applications. This is due to its ability to clinch or fit well in its application. In addition, it is highly flexible and adaptive compared to rigid high carbon steel rivets. Rivets made with high carbon steels require more material while their moldability decreases. Stainless Steel There are several metal materials for manufacturing rivets. They include steel, copper, brass, aluminum, copper, and stainless steel. Designers and manufacturers choose these different materials to satisfy their needs. The main aim is to have a strong alignment, and the strongest combination of parts joined together, and riveting is important to achieve this. Rivets help to fasten aluminum alloys together due to their difficulty to solder. Riveting also ensures neatness and strength, creating room for lighter weight in aircraft. In cases of aircraft repair or construction, reaching the far end of a tightened structure may prove difficult or nearly impossible. Riveting is the only remedy in this situation. Jewelry

Sufficient clearances are needed so that the tool can access the joint being riveted without interference. Be sure to account for the riveting equipment in the design phase to prevent the need for customized and potentially costly tooling modifications. Split rivets are available with split or sawed bodies and are applicable to home repairs. Also, they have sharp ends or tips that allow them to make holes in the materials themselves. It is not advisable to use them in extreme or critical applications. Flush Rivets : Also Called Countersink Rivets Peel Rivets are ideal for use in applications with soft or low resistance materials i.e. Plastic, Fibre, Wood. They do not deform surfaces after the riveting process is finished (Painted, Glazed etc.) They have a good resistance to temperature changes and are a fast, simple and high quality assembly. The blind end of the rivets expands, causing the mandrel to snap off. Unlike with solid rivets, you can install blind rivets in joints from one side of the part. This way, they are “blind” to the other side. Blind rivets are suitable in situations where it is difficult to see the rear end of a joint. Like any other rivets, it is pretty easy and fast to apply. It is the most dominant joint in aerospace, electronics, and shipbuilding. These rivets are the most common types of rivets. They are straightforward, dependable, and the oldest forms of joining materials. These simple tools consist of a solid shaft with a head on a particular side once it is punched in. The headless part on the other end gets deformed using a rivet gun or hammer.
