Flat Head Insert Semi Hollow Rivet

A flat head insert semi hollow rivet is a method of joining two or more work pieces together by pressure. Rivet consists of a nail with a head and a hollow sleeve. During the riveting in the course, the tail of the nail will be pressed into the sleeve, causing it to expand and fill the gaps between the work pieces, creating a strong connection.

Available materials

1. Steel

Steel is the most common material for flat head insert semi hollow rivets. It has high strength and durability and can withstand heavy loads and pressures well. Rivets made of this material are widely used in a variety of heavy industry, construction and mechanical equipment.

2. Stainless steel

Stainless steel rivet have a good corrosion resistance and be suitable for using in wet or corrosive environments.

3. Alloy Aluminum

Alloy Aluminum rivets are lightweight and high-strength. They are commonly used in aerospace, automotive and electronics manufacturing to reduce overall weight and increase structural rigidity.

4. Copper and Copper Alloys

Copper and copper alloy rivets have good electrical and thermal conductivity and are commonly used in electrical and thermal conductivity applications. In addition, they can be made into rivets of various shapes and sizes.

Removal

Required tools: a screwdriver.

1.First, insert the flat head screwdriver along the gap around the flat head insert semi hollow rivet.

2.Turn the screwdriver, pry open one side of the rivet.

3.So that along the open gap, you can pry up all around the rivet.

4.Rivets around the pry open, the rivet is removed.

5.Then, insert the screwdriver into the rivet hole.

6.Turn the screwdriver, so that the rivet hole around the smooth.

7.Finally pull out the screwdriver can be, so that not only removed the rivets, but also for the installation of new rivets ready.

Note: When prying the edge of the rivet, pry slowly to prevent over-hasty injury to their hands.

Details

Flat head insert semi hollow rivet can be installed on work pieces that are approached from one side, and are particularly suitable for closed structures or hard-to-reach areas.

Flat head insert semi hollow rivet expand during installation to form a strong connection with high tensile and shear strength. With their hollow design, semi hollow rivet is lighter in weight, making them particularly suitable for applications where weight reduction is required, such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing.
