Supplier Copper Flat Round Head Solid Rivets

Supplier Copper Flat Round Head Solid Rivets

Offering simplicity, reliability, and a rich history, solid rivets are revered as one of the most enduring types of fasteners. Comprising of a solid shaft with a head at one end, these straightforward tools are secured by deforming their headless ends with either a hammer or rivet gun. Solid rivets have become the go-to choice for numerous applications where safety and dependability are paramount.

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
