Solid Rivet

Solid rivets are designed for installation using a hammer. This is one of the simplest types of fasteners. Their purpose is to provide permanent joints between metal parts and some other durable materials.

Installation is carried out by deforming (upsetting) the rivet head. The design consists of a head and a body. The head can be countersunk, flat, or round. For installing countersunk rivets in metal, the mounting hole is countersunk beforehand.

Applications

Solid rivets provide high joint strength, which is why they are used in aviation and machine building, construction of buildings and structures, and the production of tableware.

Features

Solid rivets do not require upsetting with a special punch. They are made of various metals in pure form and in alloys: brass, steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminium. This type of rivet belongs to general-purpose mechanical engineering fasteners.
