Rivets

1. Overview

Rivets are mechanical fasteners with a cylindrical shaft and head, used to permanently join materials by deforming the tail end. Their simplicity, vibration resistance, and structural reliability make them essential in aerospace, automotive, construction, and electronics industries.

2. Major Types & Functional Classification

TypeFunctional FeaturesApplication Examples
1. Solid RivetsHigh shear strength, permanent installationAerospace structural joints
2. Blind RivetsSingle-side installation capabilityEnclosed panel assembly
3. Split RivetsFlexible tail expansion for soft materialsLeather goods and plastic
4. Drive RivetsLow-profile design with high pull-out resistanceSheet metal ductwork
5. Structural RivetsOptimized for load-bearing applicationsBridge construction

3. Structure & Composition

Typical rivet structure includes: - Head (manufacturing head, bearing surface) - Shaft (smooth or threaded cylindrical section) - Tail (deformable end for mating surface) Materials: Aluminum alloys (2024-T4), Steel (A108), Stainless Steel (304/316), Monel, Plastic (Nylon 66)

4. Key Technical Specifications

ParameterSignificance
Diameter (2-8mm standard)Determines shear/bearing capacity
Length (4-50mm range)Material thickness compatibility
Material Strength (414-1034MPa)Load-bearing capability
Corrosion Resistance (ASTM B488)Environmental durability
Installation Force (1.5-15kN)Tooling requirements

5. Application Fields

  • Aerospace: Wing assembly (Boeing 787 uses 50k+ titanium rivets)
  • Automotive: Frame rail connections (Ford F-150 aluminum body)
  • Construction: Steel beam connections (New York Freedom Tower)
  • Electronics: PCB grounding (Apple MacBook Pro chassis)

6. Leading Manufacturers & Products

ManufacturerRepresentative Products
B llhoff GroupPOP Avdel aerospace rivets
SouthcoFlush head composite rivets
Emhart TekMulti-grip blind rivets
Cherry AerospaceMaxiLOK structural rivets

7. Selection Recommendations

Key considerations: 1. Material compatibility (aluminum vs. stainless steel) 2. Joint thickness requirements 3. Environmental exposure (marine vs. industrial) 4. Installation access (single-side vs. double-side) 5. Certification requirements (NASM8000 series for aerospace)

8. Industry Trends

Emerging developments include: - Self-piercing rivets eliminating pre-drilling (Tesla Model Y uses 30% SPR) - Smart rivets with embedded strain sensors - Bio-resorbable polymer rivets for medical implants - Automated robotic riveting systems achieving 120 rivets/min - Corrosion-resistant coatings extending service life beyond 20 years
