Rivets

Usages for Rivets

Rivets are used wherever a permanent, non-removable fastener is required — and particularly where access to one side of the joint is limited (blind rivets), where maximum strength in shear is needed (solid rivets), or where a lightweight permanent connection in sheet aluminum or thin steel is required. Applications include aircraft skin and structure, automotive and truck body panels, sheet metal enclosures and cabinets, HVAC ductwork, transportation vehicle bodies, signage, and marine fabrication.

Rivets for all Industries

Rivets serve aerospace and aviation manufacturing, automotive body and trim assembly, transportation vehicle fabrication, HVAC and mechanical sheet metal work, signage and display construction, marine fabrication, consumer and commercial product manufacturing, and general sheet metal fabrication. Engineers and assemblers who need a permanent, vibration-resistant fastener for one-sided or limited-access joints specify blind rivets; applications with full access and maximum strength requirements use solid rivets. Blue Ribbon Fastener supplies rivets in the materials, head styles, and grip lengths needed for production assembly and specialty fabrication programs.
