Rivets

Rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener, consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite to the head is called the tail. On installation, the rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset or bucked (i.e., deformed), so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place. CE supplies a full range of varieties for rivets such as Bifurcated rivets, Blind pop rivets, Hollow and Snap head rivets and can satisfy customers’ requirements by holding a permanent stock of material. To distinguish between the two ends of the rivet, the original head is called the factory head and the deformed end is called the shop head or buck-tail.

Bifurcated Rivets

CE offered a wide variety that has numerous applications in industries like Construction, engineering, and many more. We find bifurcated rivets in the market in the name of the split rivets. The usage of these rivets mostly to join softer materials such as textiles, leather, plastic, or wood that’s why we called them self-piercing rivets. As the name indicates, these rivets are pre-split along the length of their shaft, forming two “legs”; when installed, a split rivet’s legs fold back to hold the joined materials together.

The regular uses for bifurcated rivets are the manufacturing of leather goods, clothing, soft-sided carrying cases, and similar applications. Bifurcated rivets normally need Accessories for installation along with Hand/Power Riveting Tools.

Blind or Pop Rivets

Blind rivets are also known as pop rivets, are cylindrical nail-like fasteners along a mandrel. These rivets are mainly used in that utilization where there is unreachable to the rear side of the joint. Rivets have a two-piece assembling; one is called the rivet body, and another is stem or mandrel. These both Pieces (Rivet body and mandrel ) are pre-fabricated and ready to use.
The main advantage of rivets is that there is inaccessible to over or under-torque a rivet. Unlike other types of rivets, these rivets can be used to fasten wooden or plastic materials aside from metal.
The most frequent application of these rivets is that they can be used just about anywhere if they are properly installed. The majority of them are used in RVs, Trailers, Aircraft, Machinery, Jeans, Small Electronics, Structural Beams, Battleships, and Submersibles.

Fully hollow rivets

Fully hollow rivets are also known as Semi-tubular rivets are similar to solid rivets, except they have a full hole. The hollow rivet is a solid rivet but undergoes two additional steps while typing with the creation of a cylindrical hole from side to side.
Implementation. The purpose of this hole is to reduce the amount of force needed for application by rolling the tubular portion outward. These rivets are permanent fasteners manufactured according to the principle of cold striking.
The force needed to apply a semi-tubular rivet is about 1/4 of the amount needed to apply a solid rivet. The riveting process is similar to that of the semi-tubular rivet but holding is weaker because the inner diameter of the rivet is entirely hollow. Tubular rivets can also be used as pivot points (a joint where movement is preferred) since the swelling of the rivet is only at the tail. Solid rivets expand radially and generally fill the hole limiting movement.
CE offers these rivets in different finishing and materials like Steel hollow, Aluminum hollow, Stainless steel, Brass, Copper, etc.

Hollow Rivets

Hollow rivets are also known as Semi-tubular rivets are similar to solid rivets, except they have a partial hole (opposite the head) at the tip. The hollow rivet is a solid rivet but undergoes two additional steps while typing with the creation of a cylindrical hole from side to side.
Implementation. The purpose of this hole is to reduce the amount of force needed for application by rolling the tubular portion outward. These rivets are permanent fasteners manufactured according to the principle of cold striking.

Solid / Snap Head Rivets

Solid rivets are among the simplest, most reliable, and oldest types of fasteners. It is a two-piece rivet that can be used to join two or more materials of different thicknesses. These round-headed rivets were commonly used in large structural work where strength is needed. Snap head rivets are widely used in various industries like manufacturing and construction. Snap head rivets have applications where you need a permanent joint.
Also, these rivets are used in traditional boiler-making, shipbuilding, and bridge girder construction, for example, large iron Snap Head Rivets were passed through the plates to be joined and hammered over whilst red hot. This not only made the hammering over easier but, as the iron rivet cooled, the joint tightened due to its contraction.
