Truss Head Half Hollow Rivets

Truss head half hollow rivets are a kind of fastener with a rounded head on one end and a hollow structure on the other. The "semi-tubular" in the name refers to the hollow shank and solid head. This design allows the rivet to expand and secure into the joined materials during installation by squeezing the hollow portion. The rounded head provides a superior appearance and sufficient tensile strength. Nuote Metals is a rivet maker based in China, producing a wide array of rivets like solid, semi-tubular, and full-tubular types. And we offer a full selection of specs and ensure quick delivery.

Introduction of truss head half hollow rivets

The installation process of truss head half hollow rivets is relatively simple, requiring no complicated tools. It can usually be completed using a hammer with a riveting punch or an automatic riveting machine. Because of the hollow section, these rivets can handle materials of different thicknesses and fill in spaces really well. The round head doesn't just look neat—it also helps spread out the pressure, which means less chance of damaging whatever you're fastening. Truss head half hollow rivets are usually made from metals like copper, aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, so they offer decent strength and resist corrosion too.
