Though they resemble solid rivets, Mil-Spec semi tubular rivets are hollow at the shank end, forming a closed-end tube. They are installed by rolling the tubular end outward and over with a press and anvil. This action clinches the rivet into the material and fastens it in place. The fit can be kept tight to secure a joint or loose for hinged assemblies that require some length of the rivet shank to remain for the crimping process. This can be completed with a crimping die.
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.
Our inventory of aerospace semi tubular rivets is diverse. We carry an extensive range of sizes, with diameters from 1/16” to 3/8” and lengths from 1/16” to upwards of 2” and 3”. We offer both countersunk and protruding head styles, with countersunk head styles available in various degrees, including the common 100 degree style. Protruding head styles include round, button, flat, brazier, and pan.

You can easily source stainless steel (CRES), Monel, titanium, and aluminum solid rivets. We also have solid rivets made from steel, copper, and brass.
