Iron Flat Head Rivets

As a common mechanical connector, iron flat head rivets occupy an important position in multiple industrial fields due to their design features and wide range of applications. Structurally, the rivet head is flat, disc-shaped, and the body is cylindrical. The end is specially processed to form an upset structure. After installation, pressure or impact causes the body to expand, forming a mechanical engagement with the hole wall to achieve a tightening effect. Compared to round head rivets or countersunk head rivets, the flat head design has significant advantages in force distribution and contact area. For example, when subjected to shear force, its disc-shaped head can disperse the load to a larger area, effectively reducing the pressure per unit area.

Product Description

Introduction of iron flat head rivets

Regarding the maintenance of iron flat head rivets, it's recommended to conduct a quarterly visual inspection of key joints, focusing on rust and gaps at the interface between the rivet head and the base material. For equipment used outdoors, regular application of rust-inhibiting oil can slow oxidation. If a rivet is found to be loose, direct hammering is strictly prohibited. Instead, use a professional riveter remover to remove it and replace it with a new one. Maintenance records for a port crane show that strictly adhering to a rivet replacement schedule reduced the structural failure rate by 62%.

Product Feature And Application

In the machinery manufacturing industry, iron flat head rivet is commonly used to connect transmission cases and bearing seats. Test data from an automobile transmission manufacturer showed that the shear strength of connections using flat-head iron rivets reached 12 kN, approximately 40% higher than bolts of the same specification.

In the construction industry, iron flat head rivets are often used to temporarily secure steel structure nodes, providing a reliable pre-connection before the main structure is welded. In one bridge project, a single 50-meter span of steel beams was pre-assembled using over 2,000 M10 flat-head rivets, increasing construction efficiency by 35% compared to traditional welding methods.
