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.

Iron Rivets
Iron rivets, also known as carbon steel rivets, are a type of fastener typically made of carbon steel with surface treatments such as galvanizing. They offer a tensile strength of 400-500 MPa and are suitable for applications such as electrical equipment. To accommodate various riveting applications, iron rivets are typically manufactured as semi-hollow or solid rivets. Iron rivets are a fundamental yet crucial mechanical component, widely used for their strength, affordability, and ease of use.

Iron Mushroom Head Rivets
Nuote Metals is a professional rivet manufacturer located in Dongguan, China. Our iron mushroom head rivets, as the name suggests, feature a mushroom-shaped head with either a semi-hollow or solid core. The head is typically larger, providing a good bearing surface. This structure allows for deformation during installation, either through extrusion or specialized tooling, to securely connect two or more materials. Made of iron, they are typically galvanized or treated with other finishes for corrosion resistance.

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.

Iron Countersunk Head Rivets
The head of an iron countersunk head rivet is shaped like a truncated cone, with the cone typically angled at 90° or 120° to the rivet's axis. This shape allows the rivet's head to sit flush with the surface of the connected component after installation, resulting in a smooth appearance. This is particularly suitable for applications where surface flatness is critical. Come to Nuote Metals to customize your desired iron countersunk head rivet. Our engineers, with over 10 years of experience, are deeply familiar with the production of various rivet types.

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.
