Hollow Rivets (Semi-tubular Rivets) and Solid Rivets

Rivets are permanent mechanical fasteners that hold two metal plates or other materials together. Upon installation, the headless end of the rivet is beaten out or pressed down to keep the fastener securely in place. Rivets are available in several styles and material options, including blind rivets, copper belt rivets, plastic snap rivets, and more. Juxin Enterprise is Your Trusted for Rivets, Rivet Nuts, & More and maintains an extensive in-stock inventory of rivets. Our rivets are available in various styles, sizes, and materials to meet your application needs.

ple. A hollow rivet is a smaller aperture of the metal material cylinder or metal hose (rivet); it is through the product workpiece to be riveted above the rivet on both sides of the knock or pressure so that the metal material column (tube) deformation increased thickening. In addition, the rivet head (cap) is produced on both sides so the product workpiece does not slip off the rivet. When an external force is applied to separate the product workpiece, the nail bar and bolt are subjected to shear stress, thus avoiding. Hollow rivets are divided into cold riveting and hot riveting. Cold riveting is riveting at room temperature. Hot riveting is used in areas with high connection requirements, such as iron bridge steel column riveting. When hot riveting is required, the rivet should be heated, and the hot red rivet should be inserted into the riveting hole. After the rivet head is laid down, the in-situ stresses gathered throughout the cooling process will make the connection inseparable. A hollow rivet is mainly used in the riveting joint with a smooth surface and little load; this rivet is especially suitable for the riveting joint where ordinary rivets are troublesome to choose from. It is widely used in engineering and construction. On ships, airports, furniture, automobiles, and other goods. Sealed self-pulling rivets are used in riveting places with specific sealing characteristics. It is another type of rivet that is riveted on both sides and is widely used because the rivet head is reactive and can resist corrosion. When riveting at riveting places where there is significant corrosion, such as the water storage tank of a ship's heating furnace, the top of the rivet head is often hammered, and the core of the rivet is exposed, which can be made flush with the inner hole of my rivet head. In other words, the actual operation of riveting can be carried out. For fastening riveted parts of the hollow rivet, it is essential to check the solidity of the riveting efficacy. As this directly means that the product can undertake the overall target parts of the daily riveting task, the whole process of reforming the raw materials of cold-heading steel is a critical component of the production process of cold-heading production, directly endangering the quality of cold-heading goods and all the normal development of manufacturing.

Semi-tubular rivets (also known as tubular rivets) are essentially the same as solid rivets but with a shallow hole at the tip, opposite the head. This hole causes the tubular portion of the rivet (around the hole) to roll outward when force is applied. This reduces the amount of force needed for installation—tubular rivets require roughly ¼ the force of solid rivets. Semi-tubular rivets are often preferred for joints where movement (pivot points) is required because the rivet material only swells at the tail. Typical applications for tubular rivets include light fixtures, HVAC ducts, electronics, ladders, and brakes, among many others.

Solid Rivets

Solid rivets are among the simplest, most reliable, and oldest fasteners. Solid rivets, as the name implies, are fully solid and generally cylindrical; they are usually divided into two types, one with a cylindrical body and one with a flange; the common types of the flange are the round head, flat round head, flat head, protruding head, etc., depending on the actual use of the occasion. Solid rivets are generally made of aluminum alloy, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium alloy, copper alloy, etc. The surface treatment is mainly galvanized, chromium plating, phosphoric acid passivation, electroplating, blackening, and other methods. The riveting installation of solid rivets is through a certain external force on one end of the rivet, the other end fixed, or both ends at the same time under the action of external force, and then through a certain shape of the rivet punch mold and molding. Solid rivet installation tools have a variety of types, including common radial riveting machines (also known as pendulum riveting machines), pneumatic riveting hammers, pneumatic presses, pneumatic, hydraulic presses, servo presses, crimping pliers, electromagnetic riveting equipment and other tools and equipment. Pneumatic riveting hammers, crimping pliers, and electromagnetic riveting equipment are mostly used in the aerospace industry, and solid rivets cover almost all applications, such as automotive seats, aircraft fuselage, skin connections, etc. Archaeologists have found evidence of solid rivet use dating as far back as the Bronze Age (circa 3000 BCE). These simple devices consist of a solid shaft with a head on one end; once installed, the headless end of a solid rivet is deformed with a hammer or rivet gun to hold it in place. Perhaps the most widely used style of rivets, solid rivets, are utilized in applications where reliability and safety are important. Juxin Enterprise stocks a huge selection of solid rivets.

Step Rivets

Step rivets are probably less well-known in the fastener market than semi-hollow and solid rivets because they usually require a mold to be opened. Semi-hollow rivets and solid rivets are used for riveting the workpiece to achieve the corresponding riveting effect, so if we want to both rivet our workpiece tightly and make the workpiece move after the riveting is completed, we have to rely on the role of the step rivet. The step leaves enough room for the workpiece to move, but it has other functions. For example, suppose we want the nut to be stuck inside the workpiece and not rotate. In that case, we can design a step nut, which will be attached to the workpiece by the step part so that the nut will not move, ensuring the stability of the workpiece in the assembly process to improve riveting efficiency.
