Blind Rivetsīlind rivets also known as pop rivets are used when it isn’t possible to see the other side of a joint and are designed to be completely installed from one side. The Aluminium/Steel Countersunk Head Rivet i s available in sizes from 3.0 x 6mm to 4.8 x 16mm.Īlternatively, the Stainless Steel A2 Countersunk Head Rivet 4.0 x 15mm is available in packs of 100. We stock many sizes of countersunk rivets. These rivets are typically used for aesthetic reasons as they can also be painted over, or to reduce drag on the piece. A countersunk rivet’s head is pressed down into a cavity or flush with the material, removing the bump. As such a countersunk rivet is different from a standard rivet as the head in a normal rivet creates a rounded bump on the surface of the material. We stock Aluminium/Steel Dome Head Rivets, Steel/Steel Dome Head Rivets and Stainless Steel A2 Dome Head Rivets in a variety of sizes.Ĭountersunk rivets also known as flat rivets are a type of fastener that has a head that sits flush with or below the top of the material. Solid rivets (also known as round or dome head rivets) are based on a technique that goes back to the Bronze Age, making this one of the oldest and also one of the most reliable types of fasteners.ĭome rivets feature a dome head that will sit on top of the surface, giving a nice finished look. From a structural design aspect, the most important rivets are solid and blind rivets. There are a variety of different head styles common in rivets. Once in place, the only way to remove the rivet is to cut it from the workpiece. The penetrating end is designed to deform and spread out which then creates a permanent hold as the head and the deformed tail of the rivet are both larger than the original hole in the material. They are pressed through two materials, by either drilling, placing or punching them into a hole. They have the appearance of a metal pin and are composed of a head on one end and a cylindrical stem on another called the tail. Rivets are mechanical fasteners used to connect two or more parts together.
