Semi Tubular rivets are trusted fasteners in industries that demand precision, durability, and compliance with strict standards. Designed for high performance applications, these rivets are ideal for aerospace, defense, automotive, and more. Explore our extensive inventory of Mil-Spec and custom semi tubular rivets to find the perfect solution for your needs.
Semi tubular rivets are an economic choice of fastener and are suitable for use in settings that do not require a solid structural component. Only simple tools are needed for installation. They are an excellent fastener option when two materials need to be joined together at a low cost.
Semi-tubular rivets feature a partially hollow shank, allowing for efficient installation and reliable fastening. The tubular end is rolled outward with a press and anvil, securing the rivet tightly or leaving room for hinged assemblies, depending on the application.These rivets are:
Their versatility makes them an excellent choice for joining materials securely and cost effectively. Compared to Solid Rivets, semi-tubular rivets need much less force during installation while still boasting significant structural integrity.
Semi-Tubular rivets are used in various industries, offering specialized benefits for each:
Aerospace:
Precision engineered for airframes, control surfaces, and cabin interiors, these rivets comply with Mil-Spec standards to ensure safety and reliability.
Automotive:
Ideal for brake linings, seat structures, and other components where vibration resistance is essential.
Electronics:
Perfect for securing circuit boards and sensitive enclosures, providing lightweight fastening with minimal vibration.
HVAC:
Corrosion resistant finishes make them a durable option for ductwork and ventilation systems.
Selecting the correct semi tubular rivet involves evaluating your specific application requirements. Here are key factors to consider:
Material Compatibility: Match the rivet material (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium) to the materials being joined for optimal performance.
Load Requirements: Assess shear and tensile load demands to ensure safety and durability.
Environmental Conditions: For corrosive or high temperature settings, select rivets with finishes like anodized or zinc coatings.
The head style of a rivet significantly impacts its functionality, appearance, and performance in specific applications. Whether you need rivets for flush finishes, enhanced load distribution, or decorative purposes, we offer a variety of head styles to suit your requirements. Each head style is designed to meet the unique challenges of industries like aerospace, automotive, and electronics.
Oval Head
Combines a smooth, rounded profile with reliable strength, ideal for aesthetics and durability.
Truss Head
Provides a wide bearing surface for secure fastening and increased load distribution.
Countersunk Head
Ensures a flush finish for applications requiring smooth surfaces, with options like 100 degree or 82 degree angles.
Button Head
Offers a rounded appearance and excellent shear strength for structural applications.
Flat Head
A simple, low profile option for applications where height must be minimized.
Proprietary Styles
Custom-engineered head styles to fit your unique project requirements.
Selecting the right material for your semi tubular rivets is crucial to achieving optimal performance. Our materials are chosen for their strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties, catering to demanding industries like aerospace and defense. From everyday applications to extreme conditions, we have the material you need.
Aluminum
Lightweight and corrosion resistant, perfect for aerospace and automotive applications.
Stainless Steel (CRES)
Offers excellent corrosion resistance and strength for harsh environments.
Monel
Nickel-based alloy ideal for marine and chemical applications, providing superior durability in corrosive environments.
Titanium
Lightweight yet incredibly strong, suitable for aerospace and high performance industries. Copper
Great conductivity and malleability for electronics and precision fastening.
Brass
Combines corrosion resistance with an attractive appearance, ideal for decorative and functional applications.
Steel
High tensile strength for structural and heavy duty fastening needs.
The right finish can extend the lifespan of your rivets, improve performance in challenging environments, and enhance their appearance. We provide a variety of coatings and finishes to meet industry standards and project specific requirements, ensuring durability and compliance with Mil-Spec regulations.
Cadmium Plating
Exceptional corrosion resistance, widely used in aerospace and defense applications. Cadmium is a potent finish, but will prevent the rivet from following REACH or RoHS requirements.
Black Oxide Coating
Reduces glare and enhances corrosion resistance for industrial applications.
Anodizing
Strengthens aluminum rivets while adding a durable, corrosion resistant finish.
Phosphate Coating
Ideal for military applications, offering anti-corrosive properties and better paint adhesion.
Zinc Plating
A cost effective solution for corrosion resistance in general purpose applications.
Nickel Coating
Provides a shiny, attractive finish with added durability for decorative and functional uses.
Tin Coating
Excellent for improving electrical conductivity in electronic applications.
These materials and finishes ensure that our rivets meet the most demanding requirements while maintaining superior performance and aesthetics.
