Flat Head Rivet

Stainless Steel Flat Head Rivets

Stainless steel flat head rivets are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, offering excellent strength and durability. Their flat head design allows for a smooth, flush finish, making them ideal for applications where appearance and surface uniformity are important. Commonly used in the automotive, aerospace, marine, and construction industries, these rivets are perfect for joining metal sheets, panels, and structural components that require a long-lasting and clean-looking fastening solution.

Flat Head Steel Rivets

Flat head steel rivets are made from durable carbon or stainless steel, offering excellent strength and corrosion resistance. They are commonly used in applications where a smooth, flush surface is needed after installation, such as in automotive assembly, metal fabrication, machinery, and structural components. Ideal for joining metal parts, these rivets provide strong and permanent fastening solutions in both heavy-duty and precision-based industries.

Flat Head Aluminium Rivets

Flat head aluminium rivets are lightweight, corrosion-resistant fasteners made from high-quality aluminum. They are ideal for applications requiring a flush surface finish, such as in automotive, aerospace, HVAC, and electronics industries. Due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to rust, these rivets are commonly used to join aluminum sheets, panels, and other lightweight materials in both structural and decorative applications.

Flat Head Copper Rivets

Flat head copper rivets are made from high-purity copper, offering excellent corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and malleability. These rivets are commonly used in electrical components, roofing, leather goods, and metalwork where conductivity and a secure, flush finish are essential. Their soft yet durable nature makes them ideal for joining softer materials like leather, copper sheets, or thin metal panels without causing damage.

Flat Head Semi Tubular Rivet

Flat head semi tubular rivets are typically made from materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, or brass, depending on the strength, corrosion resistance, and appearance required for the application. These rivets are designed with a partial hole in the shank, allowing for easy and secure installation using minimal force. Commonly used in applications where lightweight fastening is essential, they are ideal for automotive assemblies, electronics, leather goods, HVAC systems, and metal or plastic enclosures.

Flat Head Rivet Nut

Flat head rivet nuts are commonly made from materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, or brass. They are widely used to provide strong, load-bearing threads in thin or soft materials that are too fragile to support traditional tapped threads. Typical applications include automotive, electronics, aerospace, and industrial machinery, where they are used to fasten components to sheet metal, plastic, or composite materials securely and efficiently.

Applications

Flat head rivets are widely used for their smooth, flush finish that blends seamlessly with surfaces. Their design makes them ideal for applications where a low-profile, clean appearance is essential, such as in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and furniture manufacturing.

FAQs

How to install flat head rivets

Installing flat head rivets can seem daunting, but with the right guidance, it becomes a straightforward process. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional, understanding how to properly install these rivets is crucial for any project.To install flat head solid rivets properly, follow these expert steps: View More

What is a flat head rivet?

A flat head rivet is a type of rivet designed with a wide, flat head that sits flush with the surface of the material once installed. This makes it ideal for applications where a smooth, streamlined finish is important, such as in aerospace, automotive, and metal fabrication. Flat head rivets are commonly used to join thin sheets of metal or other materials, providing strong, permanent fastening while maintaining a clean appearance.

What materials are your flat head rivets available in?

Our flat head rivet are available in multiple materials to suit various applications, including aluminum (for lightweight applications), carbon steel (for high strength), stainless steel (for corrosion resistance), copper alloys (for electrical applications), and titanium (for specialized aerospace needs).

How do I determine the correct rivet size for my application?

To select the correct rivet size, you need to consider three key factors: the diameter (which should match your hole size), the grip range (which should match the combined thickness of materials being joined), and the material (which should be compatible with your application requirements and environmental conditions).

Are your flat head rivets suitable for outdoor applications?

Yes, our stainless steel and aluminum flat head rivets are excellent choices for outdoor applications due to their superior corrosion resistance. For extremely harsh environments, we recommend our 316 stainless steel rivets, which offer exceptional resistance to salt spray and chemical exposure.

Can you provide custom flat head rivets for specialized applications?

Absolutely. We offer custom manufacturing services for specialized applications that require non-standard dimensions, materials, or performance characteristics. Our engineering team can work with you to develop rivets that meet your exact specifications and quality requirements.

What is the difference between flat head rivets and countersunk rivets?

While both provide a flush finish, flat head rivets have a flat top surface that sits on top of the material, while countersunk rivets require a countersunk hole and sit completely flush with or below the material surface. Flat head rivets are easier to install as they don't require the additional countersinking step.
