Brass Copper Round head solid rivet 7/16 1/2 Customized Yellow Gold solid rivets

A method of connecting two or more parts by using axial force to thicken the rivets in the rivet holes of the parts and form a nail head.

Riveting technology dates back to 3000 BC, with the earliest discoveries originating in Egypt for wooden tool manufacturing. The Vikings in the 7th-8th centuries AD used wood rivets in shipbuilding, a practice that continued until the early 19th century when steel industry advancements led to stronger metal rivets that could handle thicker materials.

Despite the development of other joining technologies, riveting remains widely used in applications including aviation, aerospace, marine, vehicles, air conditioning, and furniture.

One of the oldest and most reliable fastening methods dating to the Bronze Age. These rivets consist of a shaft and head, installed using hammers, rivet guns, or press fitting.

Commonly used in high-reliability applications like aircraft construction, medieval armor, jewelry, and metal decorations. While high-strength structural steel rivets have been largely replaced by bolts due to installation complexity, they remain essential in many industrial applications.

• Round head rivets: Most widely used, ideal for applications with larger lateral loads
• Flat cone head rivets: Used in ship hulls and boiler tanks for their corrosion resistance
• Countersunk head rivets: For surfaces requiring smoothness with moderate loads
• Semi-countersunk head rivets: Similar to countersunk but for slightly different applications
• Flat head rivets: General purpose rivets for standard load applications

• Construction: External decoration, copper roofs, curtain walls
• Automotive: Electrical systems, braking systems, engine radiators
• Aerospace: Engines, hydraulic systems requiring high strength and heat resistance
• Electronics: Wires, cables, circuit boards, power supplies
• Heavy Industry: Refining/smelting equipment, containers, pipes, valves

Stainless steel is an alloy material with excellent corrosion resistance, composed primarily of iron, chromium, and nickel. These elements provide oxidation resistance, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

• Clean with mild detergents and soft cloths
• Avoid acidic/alkaline cleaners
• Use stainless steel stain removers for stubborn dirt
• Alcohol or vinegar can be effective cleaners
