Metal Flat Head Solid Rivet for Industrial Assembly

Qimao Metal Manufacturer provides high-quality Metal Flat Head Solid Rivet for Industrial Assembly. We make these from low carbon steel, aluminum 1100, or brass depending on your strength needs. Diameters run from 3mm up to 16mm. Lengths go from 6mm to 150mm. The flat head has a slight chamfer at the edge so it doesn't dig into the workpiece. Every batch gets a head height check and a simple bend test on one sample per box.

Product Parameter (Specification)

Product Feature

1. No countersink needed – The flat head sits flush against the material surface without requiring a countersink, saving one machining step.

2. Solid construction – No weak center. This Qimao Metal Manufacturer Metal Flat Head Solid Rivet for Industrial Assembly loads better than semi-tubular or blind rivets.

3. Basic tool installation – Can be installed with simple tools like a hand hammer or a cheap pneumatic squeezer. No expensive specialty guns required.

4. Light oxide finish – On steel versions, the shank surface receives a light oxide finish, providing corrosion resistance in normal indoor conditions.

5. Standard head diameter – The head diameter is approximately 1.6 times the shank diameter, matching most existing hole patterns. These features make it a reliable choice for permanent joints.

Application

1-Heavy equipment assembly – Most often found in excavator buckets, loader arms, and frame cross members.

2-Truck body building – Metal Flat Head Solid Rivet for Industrial Assembly used to attach hinge plates and latch brackets to steel frames.

3-Industrial grating and walkways – Hold the cross bars to the bearing bars.

4-Brake lining attachments – Found on older industrial machinery.

5-Structural steel connections – Serve as a substitute for welding in non-welded joints.

6-Playground equipment – Used for swing set frames because there is no hollow cavity to trap moisture.

7-Railroad maintenance – Kept in boxes by maintenance crews for emergency rail joint repairs.

Installation Guide

Drill or punch a hole that matches the rivet shank diameter plus 0.05mm to 0.10mm. Too tight, the rivet won't go in. Too loose, the joint rattles. Insert the Metal Flat Head Solid Rivet for Industrial Assembly from the visible side so the flat head rests against the material. Support the flat head with a bucking bar or heavy hammer. On the other side, upset the shank with a rivet gun or a hand hammer. Keep hitting until the shank spreads to about 1.5 times its original diameter and sits flat. Don't overhammer – you can crack the flat head. For thick stacks, use a rivet long enough to leave 1.5 times the shank diameter sticking out before you start. Practice on scrap first. Wear safety glasses – hot chips fly.
