Rivets are made of a variety of materials to adapt to the needs of different industries and application scenarios. Common rivet materials include the following:
1. Aluminium and aluminium alloy:
Aluminum rivets are widely used because of their light weight, corrosion resistance, beautiful and durable characteristics. For example, the riveting body of all aluminum core rivets is made of high-quality aluminum wire, which is beautiful and durable after riveting, and will never rust. However, compared with ordinary core rivets, its riveting strength is lower, and it is suitable for connections with soft materials.
2. Steel:
Steel rivets have high strength and can withstand large loads, and are commonly used as rivets in many industrial fields. Steel rivets in wet or corrosive environment, however, may require additional anticorrosive processing.
3. Stainless steel:
Stainless steel rivets are known for their excellent corrosion resistance, especially for applications requiring high tensile demands and corrosion resistance. For example, open stainless steel rivets are the best choice for high tensile demands and corrosion resistance.
4. Other metals:
In addition to aluminum, steel and stainless steel, metals such as copper and titanium are also used to make rivets for specific purposes. Because of their unique physical and chemical properties, these metals have irreplaceable advantages in some specific occasions.
5. Plastic:
Plastic rivets such as R-type plastic rivets (also known as expansion rivets) are composed of two parts of plastic stud and female buckle, installation without the use of installation tools, beautiful and practical, easy to use. It is often used to connect plastic shells, lightweight plates, insulation materials, circuit boards and other thin, lightweight materials.
In summary, the material selection of rivets depends on the specific application needs and scenarios. When selecting the rivet material, it is necessary to consider the material of the connector, the working environment, the load required to carry and the cost. Rivets of different materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, so they need to be selected according to the specific situation in practical application.
