Heavy-Duty Solid Rivets for Permanent Structural Integrity
Our Solid Rivets are the preferred choice for applications where safety and durability are paramount. Unlike blind rivets, solid shank rivets require access to both sides of the structure but offer significantly higher shear strength and a tamper-proof finish. Whether you are assembling aircraft fuselages, steel bridges, or vintage automotive frames, our rivets provide a lifetime of vibration-resistant service.
Manufactured from premium raw materials, our rivets ensure excellent upsetting properties, allowing for a smooth and consistent formation of the shop head.
- Round Head (Button Head): The most common style, providing a large bearing surface and a neat, finished appearance.
- Countersunk Head: Designed to sit flush with the material surface, ideal for aerodynamic or aesthetic requirements.
- Flat Head: Used where a low-profile head is needed but flush mounting isn’t required.
- Aluminum Solid Rivets: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, essential for the aerospace and automotive industries.
- Steel & Copper Rivets: Best for high-strength construction or decorative and conductive electrical applications.
| Nominal Diameter | Head Diameter | Head Height | Common Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 – 4.0 mm | 3.5 – 7.0 mm | 1.2 – 2.4 mm | Alu, Copper, Steel |
| 5.0 – 8.0 mm | 8.8 – 14.0 mm | 3.0 – 4.8 mm | Steel, SS304, Alu |
| 10.0 – 16.0 mm | 16.0 – 28.0 mm | 6.0 – 10.0 mm | Carbon Steel, HDG |
| 20.0 mm+ | Custom | Custom | Structural Steel |
- Drill: Create a hole slightly larger (approx. 0.1mm) than the rivet shank diameter.
- Insert: Place the rivet through the holes of the materials to be joined.
- Set: Support the factory head with a “bucking bar” and strike the protruding shank with a rivet gun or hammer until it expands to form the second head.
- Aerospace: Aircraft wing and fuselage assembly (Aluminum rivets).
- Marine: Shipbuilding and offshore structures (Stainless steel and Monel).
- Infrastructure: Riveted steel bridges and historical building restoration.
- Cookware & Knives: Securing handles with copper or brass solid rivets.
