Aluminium Rivet, GOST

Aluminium rivets are one of the common types of fasteners.

They are used to join structural parts, usually of small thickness. Their main advantage is the ability to withstand vibration and mechanical loads.

Product features

A rivet is a metal cylinder with a round head (resembling a mushroom cap) at one end. Rivets are made from various aluminium alloys, which is where the fastener’s name comes from.

Aluminium rivets are corrosion-resistant, provide a reliable joint, are lightweight and easy to install. The limitation is that they cannot be used to join steel or titanium parts.

Types of aluminium rivets:

• standard “hammer-set” rivets;
• tubular rivets;
• drive rivets;
• threaded rivets;
• blind rivets.

Main dimensions: diameter 1–12 mm, length 2–110 mm.

Application and installation

Rivets are used in mechanical engineering and shipbuilding, the cosmetics and food industries, and chemical production.

To join parts, a hole is drilled, the rivet is inserted head-down into it, and the second end is flattened with a hammer or a special tool.
