5 Main Types of Industrial Rivets


DIC Fasteners has been Supplying all kinds of Rivets, such as blind rivets, countersunk rivets, semi-tubular rivets, solid rivets, and multi-grip rivets, tri-folds rivets, etc. Every rivet has different benefits making it ideal for various types of fastening.

A Rivet is a mechanical fastener that is made of a smooth, cylindrical body, and a tail that looks more like a metallic pin. Rivets are non-threaded usually made of steel or, aluminum. Rivets are an essential tool in machine and structure construction. Rivets are used as permanent fasteners in mechanical industries. Rivets are available in various shapes and sizes.

* Blind Rivets:- As its name suggests, these can be installed on one side. They are ideal for projects that have access. Blind rivets are inserted into the holes drilled in the parts to be joined, and a particular tool is used to pull the dowel through the body of the rivet.

* Solid Rivets:- These rivets are made of a shaft and head that are deformed with a hammer or a rivet gun. Solid Rivets are used in applications where accuracy and safety are important. Common head styles of these rivets are countersunk, round, flat, universal, button, oval, pan, etc.

* Countersunk Rivets:- Countersunk Head Rivets are also known as flat rivets and are used in countersunk holes. These rivets are made of stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloy steel that making them highly durable for high-strength applications.

* Semi Tubular Rivet:- These rivets are also known as tubular rivets and are the same as solid rivets, but it has a partial hole at their top, opposite to the head. The purpose of these rivets is to minimize the amount of torque needed for application by rolling the tubular portion outward.

* Structural Rivets:- Structural rivets are those rivets that are particularly designed to fix elements where high resistance to both tensile and shear strengths are required. These rivets are leak resistant and provide excellent clamp-up torque. Structural rivets are suitable for structural or, difficult applications.
