Solid rivets are permanent fasteners consisting of a solid cylindrical shank and a pre‑formed head, manufactured as one piece. During installation, the shank is inserted through pre‑drilled holes in the workpieces, and the tail is upset (by hammering or pressing) to form a second head, creating a non‑removable, robust joint. They offer extremely high shear and tensile strength, providing reliable connections in heavy‑load or vibration‑prone applications. Common head styles include round, countersunk, flat, truss, and large flange.
Customizable options:

Materials: Carbon steel (C1008/C1010/C1022), aluminum alloy (e.g., 5056/6061), copper, brass, stainless steel (SS304/SS316), titanium alloy, rivet‑grade steel (e.g., ML08/ML15), etc.

Surface finishes: Electroplated zinc (blue/white, yellow, black), nickel plating, chrome plating, black oxide, phosphating, Dacromet, anodizing (aluminum), painting, or plain (natural finish)

Head styles: Round, countersunk (flat cone), flat, truss, large flange, pan head, etc.

Other variables: Nominal diameter (1mm – 36mm+), length (2mm – 200mm), head diameter & thickness, chamfer or point of the tail, with or without flange, slotted (for cotter pin) can be manufactured to customer drawings.
Widely used in aerospace, automotive bodies, steel bridges, railway rolling stock, shipbuilding, luggage hardware, scissor riveting, and heavy machinery.
