A2 Rivet

The wide variety of design options for A2 stainless steel rivets allows them to be used for fastening parts in work of various kinds, including household tasks.

Rivets in this category are made from an austenitic alloy with a specific chromium and nickel content. They create a strong joint and do not spoil the appearance of the structure. Types of A2 rivets:

• blind rivets, consisting of a mandrel and a body;
• drive rivets in the form of a smooth shank with a head;
• rivet nuts — more often used for concealed joints.

By configuration they can be flat, round, oval, solid or hollow. Drive rivets are available with a round head or in a countersunk version for hammering in. The fastener size is selected based on the diameter and depth of the mating hole.

The advantage of fasteners in this category is that access from only one side is sufficient for a reliable connection of materials. The parts joined are usually homogeneous, or made from different but durable materials — for example, metal sheets, aluminium profiles.
