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 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.

Half Tubular Rivets
A half tubular rivet is a metal fastener that is solid at one end and partially hollow at the other, usually made of materials such as aluminum alloy, copper, or steel. The hollow portion occupies approximately one-third to one-half of the length of the rivet body. This design allows the rivet to achieve a fastening effect through extrusion deformation during installation. Compared with solid rivets, half tubular rivets are characterized by light weight, easy installation, and wide applicability; compared with full-hollow rivets, they provide higher strength and stability. Half tubular rivets do not require complex equipment during installation and can usually be completed with manual or pneumatic tools. Therefore, they are favored in many fields. Nuote Metals specializes in the production of half tubular rivets, with a complete range of molds and welcomes customization.

Half Holllow Rivets
Nuote Metals is located in Dongguan, China, we are specializing in the production of a variety of rivets, including solid rivets, semi-tubular rivets, and full tubular rivets. Half hollow rivets are a common industrial fastener, featuring a hollow core structure with a semi-enclosed head and shank. This design allows them to combine lightweight and high strength, making them widely used in applications requiring efficient riveting. Compared to solid rivets, half hollow rivets reduce weight by using less material, while leveraging plastic deformation during riveting to achieve a secure connection, making them particularly suitable for weight-sensitive applications.

Countersunk Head Rivets
Countersunk rivets are a common mechanical fastener, primarily used for fastening applications requiring high strength and a smooth surface. Their countersunk head design allows them to sit flush with the workpiece surface after installation, eliminating any protrusions that could affect appearance or function. Countersunk solid rivets, on the other hand, are constructed from a single solid piece of material, without any hollow sections. They are typically used to connect workpieces professionally by hammering or riveting. There's also a countersunk head semi-tubular rivet, with a hollow section at the end for easier riveting and less labor-intensive than solid rivets.

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
