Rivets are non-threaded cylindrical mechanical fasteners engineered to permanently join two or more components together. Capped with a pre-formed flanged or forged head on one end, a rivet is installed by placing its smooth shank into a pre-drilled hole cut slightly larger in diameter than the rivet itself. The protruding tail end is then beaten, bucked, or pressed, expanding the shank and forming a secondary head that permanently clamps the assembly under high shear and tensile tension.
As an established rivets manufacturer, supplier, and exporter, Intact360 Fasteners manufactures standard and customized industrial rivets compliant with rigorous global engineering specifications. From lightweight aerospace airframes to heavy railway rolling stock and electrical appliances, Intact360 supplies precision rivets designed for maximum joint fatigue resistance and structural permanence.
Intact360 manufactures rivets across three primary head geometries to match specific joint clearance and aerodynamic requirements:
- Domed / Button Head: Features a rounded profile providing high bearing area for maximum joint clamping force.
- Flat Head: Low-profile head design ideal for general sheet metal assembly and structural connections.
- Countersunk Head: Tapered head style designed to sit completely flush with the material surface, eliminating aerodynamic drag or surface snagging.
Raw Material Metallurgy & Grade Specifications
As a specialized rivets manufacturer, Intact360 processes certified ferrous, non-ferrous, and corrosion-resistant alloys to meet distinct industrial specifications:
1. Aluminum Alloy Grades
Aluminum rivets combine high strength-to-weight ratios with natural atmospheric corrosion resistance, making them indispensable in transport and aerospace engineering:
- 2024-T4 & 2011-T3: High-strength structural aircraft alloys designed for severe shear loads.
- 1000 Series: Pure commercial aluminum offering maximum ductility and electrical conductivity.
- 5000 & 6000 Series (6061): Marine-grade and structural alloys providing exceptional saltwater corrosion resistance.
2. Copper & Brass Grades
Non-ferrous copper and brass rivets provide high thermal and electrical conductivity, non-sparking properties, and attractive aesthetic finishes:
- Copper CDA 102 & CDA 110 (ASTM B-187): Oxygen-free and high-conductivity copper grades for electrical appliances and roofing.
- Brass CDA 260 & CDA 270 (ASTM B-134): Highly ductile brass alloys ideal for decorative hardware, gas appliances, and marine fittings.
Stainless Steel & Carbon Steel Rivets
For heavy structural connections, high-temperature exposures, or corrosive processing environments, Intact360 manufactures steel rivets engineered for extreme mechanical loading:
1. Stainless Steel Alloys
- Stainless Steel 302 & 304 (A2): Standard austenitic stainless steels offering high tough-tensile performance and general oxidation resistance.
- Stainless Steel 316 (A4) & 316L: Molybdenum-alloyed stainless steel designed for marine salt spray, chemical tanks, and subsea structures.
2. Low & High Carbon Steels
Low carbon steel rivets offer excellent cold-heading ductility for easy installation, while high carbon steel rivets deliver elevated yield strength and shear resistance in heavy construction and railway freight car assemblies.
