Product Information

Riveting is more time and labor-consuming than welding. It requires other additional work such as layouts and holes drilling. With these vast materials, rivets now have unlimited applications. Therefore, it is advisable to select a rivet-making material that matches the properties of the parts you are about to join together. Steel Originally, aircraft machining projects should be made of solid, durable, and dependable materials. Unfortunately, everything might fall apart if operators don’t tighten these solid and heavy materials together well. Therefore, riveting is essential to aircraft construction as much as brazing, welding, and bolting.

It is sometimes necessary to use dissimilar materials such as fastening aluminum to steel or plastics to aluminum. Whenever possible, the stronger material should be the secondary side because this is where the setting will take place. As a general rule, a rivet should be used in materials equal to or greater than its own strength, although custom rivets can be produced to work in softer materials. Be sure to verify the compatibility of the rivet materials as galvanic corrosion can occur and is seldom considered in the design phase. Flush rivets, also countersunk rivets are used on external surfaces to ensure a good appearance and eliminate aerodynamic drag.Many components and structures are put together to make up a complete part. Using some essential tools can arrange these components. One of these heroes in the manufacturing industry is rivets. Different types of rivetsare available for use based on their design requirements and properties.

Sufficient clearances are needed so that the tool can access the joint being riveted without interference. Be sure to account for the riveting equipment in the design phase to prevent the need for customized and potentially costly tooling modifications. There is hardly a thing with its advantage without a downside or limitations. So, here are some of the disadvantages of riveting:There are several different types of rivetsavailable. However, they are broadly divided into the following categories. Solid Rivets : The Most Common Rivets This article will guide you through the various types of rivets and their uses. Let’s get right to it! An Overview of Rivets What i s a Rivet? Our rivets feature a “one size rivets all” grip range from 1/8″ to 9/16″, which can replace up to 3 sizes of other brand exploding rivets. The main aim is to have a strong alignment, and the strongest combination of parts joined together, and riveting is important to achieve this. Rivets help to fasten aluminum alloys together due to their difficulty to solder. Riveting also ensures neatness and strength, creating room for lighter weight in aircraft. In cases of aircraft repair or construction, reaching the far end of a tightened structure may prove difficult or nearly impossible. Riveting is the only remedy in this situation. Jewelry Split rivets are available with split or sawed bodies and are applicable to home repairs. Also, they have sharp ends or tips that allow them to make holes in the materials themselves. It is not advisable to use them in extreme or critical applications. Flush Rivets : Also Called Countersink Rivets

Blind rivets are otherwise referred to as hollow or pop rivets. These metal rivetsare tubular fasteners with a mandrel through their center. Manufacturers insert blind rivets into drilled holes made in parts intended for joining. Since the blind side of the rivet is designed to form into a secondary flange, it is important to leave room for the flange to expand and seat properly. Keep in mind, the collapsed height is shorter than the pre-installed height. Therefore, be sure the secondary side can accommodate the entire rivet length (including the mandrel head), before riveting. Testing should be done in the design phase to calculate what distances are needed and to verify proper functionality. Steels with low carbon properties are suitable for rivets applications. This is due to its ability to clinch or fit well in its application. In addition, it is highly flexible and adaptive compared to rigid high carbon steel rivets. Rivets made with high carbon steels require more material while their moldability decreases. Stainless Steel Also referred to as bifurcated rivets, split rivets are closely related to self-piercing rivets. They are the best options for joining softer materials like leather, plastic, and wood.Perchance you take a good look at what you have in your home, in and out of it. You are likely to come across one or two rivets that you haven’t seen before now. The fact is, they are likely to be present in your immediate environment. These rivets are applicable to fiberglass roofing. So, if your house has this kind of roofing, rivets help to hold the glass together. Rivets are a better substitute for screws, bolts, and nuts. They prove more efficient and reliable than all other connectors. Today, different types of rivetshave various purposes. This is a result of the dynamic nature of machines and structures. However, you have to choose suitable metal rivetsfor your applications to get the best results. PeelRivets are used in many Industries including; Automotive, Trailers, Construction Work, Upholstery, Plastic Components, Wood Industry, Electrical Appliances e.t.c. Aluminum is another metal variant with a renowned usage for rivets and fasteners. It is recognized for its tenderness and its lightweight attribute. Aluminum material offers a strong deterioration resistance, and it is suitable for several applications. Furthermore, aluminum is quite malleable; hence, it allows you to create complex part configurations easily. Brass

RapidDirect provides essential CNC machining metal rivets. We also deliver the best custom precision CNC machining servicesfor prototyping and production machining. Our expert technicians have the right experience to provide the best services for desired results with fast lead times. Solid rivets consist of only shafts and heads, which are deformed using a rivet gun or hammer. These types of rivetscan come with either 100 degrees countersunk or round universal heads. Solid rivets are often utilized in cases where safety and reliability are critical. For example, one of the typical applications is in the structural parts of aircraft. Blind Rivets : Also Named Pop Rivets Since there is a need for extensive cold forming for these rivets, it is essential that they are very ductile and are of low-strength metals. As a result, tubular rivets are popular in commercial applications. Some of the specific tubular rivets types are:Rivet’s primary purpose is to ensure a firm and reliable tightening of two or more metallic or wooden materials. When you do this, you have a joint stronger than that of a screw with the same diameter. Hole sizes are extremely important for the proper functionality of blind rivets. We specify a hole size for every rivet we manufacture. A rivet is only guaranteed to function as designed when the hole size is within the prescribed range. Additionally, the design engineer should calculate the manufacturing tolerances of the hole to ensure proper fit so that interference issues will not occur later. Pull-Mandrel Rivets– are special double countersunk blind rivets providing flush surface clinches on both sides of their applications. Here, the mandrel head doesn’t break away, providing consistent clamp force. In addition, the tight radial set in these rivets increases structural rigidity. Rivets are quite an essential tool in machine and structure construction. You can install rivets either through drilling, punching, or placing them in a hole and deforming the tail. The most popular riveting process includes drilling a hole in parts to be riveted. This is because it is much simpler and more accessible. The riveting process results in more noise than when welding. The hammer blowing produces a loud noise.
