Solid rivets are one of the oldest and most reliable types of fasteners, consisting of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. Installed by deforming the tail (forming a second head) using a rivet gun or hammer, they create a permanent, vibration-resistant joint that cannot be loosened or disassembled without destruction. Ideal for structural applications requiring high shear strength and reliability.

Available Head Types

  • Round Head: General-purpose, high-strength applications

  • Truss Head: Large bearing surface for thin materials

  • Flat Head: Flush mounting where surface smoothness is required

  • Countersunk Head: Flush finish for aerodynamic or aesthetic requirements

  • Universal Head: Combination of round and countersunk, suitable for multiple applications

  • Modified Brazier Head: Low-profile head with smooth contours, commonly used in aircraft manufacturing

Materials & Grades

  • Aluminum: 1100, 2017, 2024, 2117, 5056, 6061 – lightweight and corrosion-resistant

  • Brass: Decorative applications, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity

  • Copper: Electrical applications, corrosion resistance, soft for hand-forming

  • Stainless Steel: 302, 304, 305, 316 – maximum strength and corrosion resistance

  • Steel: Low carbon, medium carbon – high strength, various finishes available

  • Monel / Nickel Alloys: Marine and chemical processing applications

  • Titanium: Aerospace and high-performance applications
