High Quality Countersunk Head Solid Rivets

High Quality Countersunk Head Solid Rivets

Solid rivets, which are considered as one of the oldest types of fasteners, are characterized by their simplicity and reliability. These simple devices feature a solid shaft with a head on one end, and once installed, the headless side can be deformed using a hammer or rivet gun to ensure its stability. Solid rivets find widespread usage in applications that prioritize both reliability and safety.

Common Material Used for Solid Rivet

1. Steel
2. Stainless steel
3. Aluminum
4. Brass
5. Copper

To secure the rivet, the terminal end of the shank undergoes impact, pressing, or spinning procedures subsequent to the insertion of the rivet into a workpiece. This process results in the formation (upsetting) of a solid head, constituting the clinched head of the rivet. During impact or press clinching, the force necessary for shaping the clinched head leads to the expansion of the entire shank, effectively filling the hole in the workpiece. The shank's enlargement is most pronounced at the clinched head end of the rivet. In contrast, spun, orbital, or radial rivet clinches demand less force to form, compared to impact or pressed rivets. Consequently, they lack the same shank swelling capability. For most solid rivet applications, pre-punched or drilled holes in the workpiece are requisite

Solid Rivet Benefits:

1. Low cost fastening
2. Ease of joint inspection
3. Easily adopted for automation
4. Provides a tamper-resistant permanent joint
5. Virtually no scrap
6. Minimal investment in machinery
7. Strongest riveted joint and high shear strength values
