As one of professional manufacturer in China, Notin would like to provide you Rivets. And we will offer you the best after-sale service and timely delivery.
What is a rivet?
A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener used to join two or more materials. Rivets work by inserting a metal pin into an aligned hole and deforming the end, creating a strong, secure, and durable connection. Unlike temporary fasteners like screws, rivets do not rely on threads, but instead form a permanent connection, making them ideal for applications requiring high strength, durability, and vibration resistance.
Classification of Rivets
Rivets are typically categorized by head shape, degree of hollowness, or material.
Based on head shape, rivets can be classified as flat head rivets, round head rivets, countersunk head rivets, mushroom head rivets, universal head rivets, truss head rivets, etc.
Based on degree of hollowness, rivets can be classified as solid rivets, semi-tubular rivets, or full tubular rivets.
Based on material, rivets can be classified as brass rivets, stainless steel rivets, steel rivets, aluminum rivets, copper rivets, etc.
What surface finishes are available for rivets?
Rivet surfaces are typically treated with rust-proofing treatments, primarily electroplating, including zinc plating, nickel plating, chrome plating, tin plating, gold plating, and silver plating. Electroplating is a common rust-proofing method for rivets. It applies a layer of plating to the rivet surface through physical or chemical methods. The plating effectively prevents corrosion and rust, while also providing a certain aesthetic effect.
Another special surface treatment method is head coating. Head coating is performed after the rivet is electroplated. This allows for a variety of colors on the rivet head, achieving an aesthetically pleasing finish.
Aluminum rivets cannot be electroplated, but they can be anodized. Anodizing also allows for a variety of color options, but the unit price is higher than electroplating.
Rust-proofing the rivet surface is crucial, effectively extending the rivet's service life and ensuring a secure connection. Different rust-proofing methods are suitable for different environments and applications, so the choice should be tailored to the specific situation.

Aluminum Tube Rivets
Aluminum tube rivets are made from high-strength aluminum alloy, boasting remarkable lightweight properties, with a density only one-third that of steel rivets. Furthermore, this material offers excellent corrosion resistance, effectively resisting erosion from atmospheric and seawater environments. The unique hollow structure design further reduces overall weight while maintaining strength.Aluminum tube rivets made by Nuote Metals are high in precision, feel free to send us your inquiry.

Aluminium Pipe Rivets
Nuote Metals is a Aluminium Pipe Rivets manufactuer in China. Aluminum pipe rivets primarily consist of a rivet head and a shank. The shank is a hollow cylinder typically made from aluminum alloys such as 5052 or 6061, which offer excellent ductility and corrosion resistance. This aluminum alloy contributes to the rivet's overall lightness, making it suitable for weight-sensitive applications. Furthermore, the aluminum's natural oxide layer effectively prevents rust from environmental factors, extending its service life.

Tubular Rivets
Tubular rivets typically consist of a shank and a cap, with a hollow center. This design allows the end of the shank to curl outward when subjected to axial pressure, forming another cap-like structure, thereby clamping two or more materials together. Unlike familiar solid rivets, hollow rivets do not require hammering from the opposite side, making them more suitable for assembly applications that can only be operated from one side.

Steel Pipe Rivets
Steel pipe rivets offer advantages such as lightness, high strength, corrosion resistance, excellent airtightness, and high reliability. They are suitable for joining a variety of materials, such as aluminum alloys, steel, and plastics. Furthermore, the hollow body of steel pipe rivets significantly reduces their weight, contributing to the overall lightweighting of the structure.

Stainless Steel Pipe Rivets
Stainless steel pipe rivets consist of a body and a cap, with a hollow channel in between. This design allows the rivet to secure materials by squeezing or expanding during the joining process. Stainless steel was chosen primarily for its corrosion resistance. The chromium in stainless steel forms an oxide film on the surface, preventing rust and extending the life of the rivet. Stainless steel also offers excellent toughness and strength, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.Nuote Metals is a stainless steel pipe rivets manufacturer in China for more than 10 years.

1. Ease of Installation
Rivets are fast to install, and even fully automated for high-volume applications, resulting in a simple and efficient operation process.
2. Connection Reliability
The riveting process is standardized, with strict quality control, resulting in highly stable connections. Visual inspection allows for quick verification of connection quality.
3. Vibration and Impact Resistance
Rivets connect through deformation or interference fit, providing strong clamping force and excellent vibration resistance, capable of withstanding vibration and shock.
4. Low Cost
Rivets are easy to install and can be fully automated, saving significant labor costs.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of rivets made of different materials?
Aluminum Rivets
Advantages: Lightweight, reduces overall product weight, low cost, suitable for general civilian applications.
Disadvantages: Low tensile and shear strength, unsuitable for high-strength workpieces, prone to electrochemical corrosion when in contact with metals such as stainless steel.
Stainless Steel Rivets
Advantages: Strong corrosion resistance, high hardness, suitable for high-strength workpieces (such as marine equipment)
Disadvantages: Higher cost, typically more expensive than aluminum rivets of the same specification.
Brass and Copper Rivets
Advantages: Excellent conductivity (such as connecting electronic components), good corrosion resistance.
Disadvantages: Higher cost, more difficult to process.
Steel Rivets
Advantages: High hardness, high connection reliability, and wide applicability.
Disadvantages: Compared to other materials, iron rivets are more prone to rusting.
What are the main applications of rivets?
Rivets have a wide range of uses, from small items like a pair of scissors to large items like airplanes and ships, as well as in high-precision medical applications.
Industrial Manufacturing
Rivets are used in a wide variety of industrial fields, wherever there is a need to connect two or more materials.
Electronics
Rivets secure heat sinks and chips, providing both vibration damping and noise reduction, and are widely used in the cooling systems of electronic products such as computers and mobile phones.
Automotive
Rivets are widely used to connect components of automobile bodies and chassis, such as doors and hoods. Their lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties make them an indispensable joining method in automotive manufacturing.
Aerospace
In aircraft manufacturing, rivets are used to connect different fuselage components, such as wings and tailplanes. Millions of rivets create high-strength, corrosion-resistant joints. Aluminum and titanium alloy rivets are often used to connect components of corresponding materials, ensuring stability in extreme environments.
Rivets are used everywhere. The above examples only represent a small number of their applications. We see rivets everywhere in our daily lives, such as on scissors, folding beds, and strollers etc. Rivets can be customized to different sizes and materials depending on the application.
