What are the advantages of rivets over other fasteners?

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.

Aerospace

In aircraft manufacturing, rivets are used to connect different fuselage components, such as wings and tailplanes. Millions of rivets create high-strength, corrosion-resistant joints. Aluminum and titanium alloy rivets are often used to connect components of corresponding materials, ensuring stability in extreme environments.

Rivets are used everywhere. The above examples only represent a small number of their applications. We see rivets everywhere in our daily lives, such as on scissors, folding beds, and strollers etc. Rivets can be customized to different sizes and materials depending on the application.
