Solid rivets are the fastener of choice for industries inside and out of aerospace, construction, and any application where reliability and strength are an absolute must. Universal Rivet is one of those companies — we have decades of water under the bridge and sit behind any number of premium solid rivets that adhere to stringent performance and quality standards. Keep in mind: the integrity of your finished product depends on the components you use. Quality solid rivets, such as these, give you the confidence that your projects will satisfy your own standards as well as customers.
Why Choose Solid Rivets?
When it comes to making permanent, high-strength joints, nothing beats solid rivets. They feature a pre-formed head at one end and a solid shank at the other, with their simple but stout design. The shank is typically offered with either a straight or chamfer-cut end to meet assembly specifications. For the applications requiring more flexibility, solid rivets can be annealed which is a heat treatment process that makes them more ductile thus possessing the advantage of easier clinching without compromising on strength.
Design Features & Benefits
Higher Strength: Solid rivets are used to form the strongest combination of fastened joints popularly utilized in load-bearing
structures, such as bridges, air-crafts, and heavy equipment.
Amplified Throughput: With ease of assembly comes faster production schedules, a significant asset in time-constrained production settings.
Immovable Security: Solid rivets are irremovable after installation; to take them out, the joint must be destroyed, providing a perfect joint security level that no threaded fastener can match.
Not Expensive: They can be assembled without nuts, bolts, or complicated tooling. This reduces the material and labor costs significantly.
Installation Best Practices
As the solid rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled or punched hole in a workpiece, the opposite end of the shank is pressed, impacted, or spun to fasten the rivet head in place. This pressure causes the shank to expand and fill the hole completely for a snug, vibration-blocking bond. Drilling holes correctly is critical—you must have accurate alignment and hole size to help incorporate joint stability.
Applications of Solid Rivets
Aerospace: Employed in airframe assembly due to their resilience under extreme stress and vibration.
Construction: Especially Sturdy And Durable, Ideal For Steel Buildings, Bridges, And Heavy Equipment
Marine: Resistance to corrosion (such as in stainless steel) is used to secure the components of a vessel in a harsh, salty environment.
Automotive: Offer strong fastening for chassis and engine components.
