Rivets are unfamiliar to many people, but they are still easy to see in our lives, maybe we don’t pay much attention to them, it is one of the hardware parts, and it is used in important places in life Yes, maybe you don't know much about it, what are hardware rivets used for? Next, Jiuzheng Hardware Network will explain it to you, let's take a look.

What are hardware rivets used for?
A rivet is a nail-shaped object used to connect two parts (or components) with a through hole and a cap at one end. In riveting, the riveted parts are connected using their own deformation or interference. There are many types of rivets, and they are informal. Rivets are usually used for riveting connections between objects, and usually require the use of specific special tools for operation. There are many types of rivets, such as round head rivets, flat cone head rivets, countersunk rivets, semi-sunk head rivets, flat head rivets, hollow rivets, tubular rivets, sign rivets, etc. to meet different job requirements.
Round head rivets: mainly used for riveting occasions with large lateral loads, and are the most widely used.
Flat cone head rivets: Due to their thick head and corrosion resistance, they are often used in highly corrosive riveting occasions such as ship hulls and boiler water tanks.
Countersunk head, 1200 countersunk head rivets: mainly used for riveting occasions where the surface must be smooth and the load is not large.
Semi-sunk head, 1200 semi-sunk head rivets: mainly used for riveting occasions where the surface must be smooth and the load is not large.
Flat head rivets: used for riveting occasions with general loads.
Flat head, flat head rivets: mainly used for riveting occasions of metal sheets or non-metallic materials such as leather, canvas, and wood.
Large flat head rivets: mainly used for riveting occasions of non-metallic materials.
Semi-tubular rivets: mainly used for riveting occasions with small loads.
Headless rivets: mainly used for riveting occasions of non-metallic materials.
Hollow rivets: light weight, weak nail head, used for riveting occasions of non-metallic materials with small load.
Tubular rivets: used for riveting occasions that do not follow the load of non-metallic materials.
Sign rivets: mainly used for riveting nameplates on machines and equipment.
Blind rivets: The types can be roughly divided into open type, closed type, double-drum type, and single-drum type series. The following is a brief description of each model.
Countersunk head type blind rivets: For the riveting of riveted parts that require a smooth and beautiful surface after riveting.
Double-drum type blind rivet: When riveting, the mandrel pulls the end of the rivet body into a double-drum shape, clamps the two structural parts to be riveted, and reduces the pressure on the surface of the structural parts. Uses: Mainly used for riveting various thin structural parts in various vehicles, ships, construction, machinery, electronics and other industries.
Large brim blind rivets: Compared with ordinary blind rivets, the diameter of the aluminum cap of this rivet is significantly larger. When the rivet is riveted with the connecting piece, it has a larger contact area and a stronger supporting surface to enhance the torque. Strength, can withstand higher radial tension. Applicable industries: suitable for fastening soft and fragile surface materials and large holes, increasing the brim diameter for special protection applications for soft materials.
Closed blind rivets: specially designed to cover the mandrel head after riveting, very suitable for various applications with waterproof requirements. With high shear force, anti-vibration, anti-high pressure.
Blind rivet: It is a type of rivet for single-sided riveting, but it must be riveted with a special tool-a riveting gun (manual, electric, and moving). This type of rivet is especially suitable for riveting occasions where it is inconvenient to use ordinary rivets (riveting must be done from both sides), so it is widely used in construction, automobiles, ships, aircraft, machines, electrical appliances, furniture and other products. Among them, open-type oblate head blind rivets are the most widely used, countersunk head blind rivets are suitable for riveting occasions that require smooth performance, and closed blind rivets are suitable for riveting occasions that require higher load and certain sealing performance.
Core-hitting rivets are another type of single-sided riveted rivets. When riveting, use a hand hammer to hit the rivet head to expose the rivet core so that it is flush with the end face of the rivet head, and the riveting operation is completed, which is very convenient, especially suitable for inconvenient Riveting occasions using ordinary rivets (must be riveted from both sides) or blind rivets: (lack of riveting gun). Usually flat round head hammering riveting is used, and countersunk head hammering rivets are suitable for occasions where smooth riveting is required on the surface.
R-type plastic rivets: also known as expansion rivets, are composed of two parts: a plastic sub-nail and a female buckle. It does not need to use installation tools when installing. Place the installation base in the smooth hole, and then press the head. The specially designed feet expand and expand after being stressed, and are firmly locked on the installed surface. It is often used to connect plastic shells, lightweight panels, insulation materials, circuit boards, or any other thin, lightweight materials, beautiful and practical, and easy to use.
Fan rivet: specially designed for manual installation, it can be pulled in through the hole of the panel or the bottom frame, made of elastomer material with good toughness, and can be installed quickly even in interference assembly. The design is ingenious and has an elastic function. It is not easy to slide out after being pulled in with the corresponding aperture. The fan rivet is mainly used for fixing between the fan of the electronic computer case, the heat sink and the chip, and has anti-vibration and noise reduction.
Core rivet: It is a new type of riveting fastener that is very convenient for riveting. The core rivet can show its unique advantages in a relatively small space or in an environment where there is no riveting gun or the riveting gun cannot be used. Two or several connected parts can be successfully riveted by hitting the nail core with a hammer or other utensils on one side. Core rivets can be divided into oblate head core rivets and countersunk head core rivets according to the shape of the brim of the nail cap. According to different material combinations, they can be divided into all aluminum core rivets, aluminum steel core rivets, and all stainless steel core rivets. Rivets, steel core rivets, aluminum stainless steel core rivets, plastic core rivets, etc. Core rivets do not have to be riveted with manual riveters or pneumatic riveters like blind rivets. They have better riveting and convenience, and can be widely used in riveting of various connected parts.
Plastic tree-shaped rivets: also known as inverted tooth-shaped plastic rivets, also known as Christmas tree-shaped plastic rivets, the good elasticity of the tooth-shaped sheet can be directly pressed and installed manually in the round hole of the interference assembly, and the tooth-shaped sheet can be installed according to the actual thickness. The size can be fixed by self-adjustment. The inverted tooth type design is that the rivet is firmly fixed on the installed surface after installation, and is not easy to be pulled out. It is suitable for fixing between soft materials such as foam, wood, rubber, and car interiors. Plastic tree rivets have excellent insulation, fire resistance, non-magnetism, heat insulation, light weight, high temperature resistance, high strength, and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in various industrial fields.
All-aluminum blind rivets: the rivet body is also made of high-quality aluminum
