Rivets Flat Head

Flat head rivets are the strongest rivets used in fastened joints. Secondary heat treatment (anneal) to the rivet can make the rivet more ductile prior to clinching in certain applications. Rivets can be hardened for some applications to improve strength and durability. Rivet plating and coating options are selected dependent on the application.  Many rivets are ordered with a plain finish as they are painted after assembly.

* High speed assembly.  Rivets feed automatically in impact Rivet Machines that cycle in approximately 3/10th of a second

* Material grain flow structure of solid rivets, along with the shank swelling during assembly, creates the strongest riveted joint.  High shear strength values

* Permanent fastener that cannot be removed without destroying one of the rivet heads

* Inexpensive alternative to threaded fasteners

* Ease of joint inspection

* Virtually no scrap is produced during the manufacturing process

* Easily adapted for automation
