What are rivets used for?

2025-02-28

A rivet is a common fastener product used to hold two or more pieces of material together. It is usually made of metal materials (e.g., aluminum, steel, stainless steel, etc.) and is widely used in construction, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronics, and marine applications.

 

Fastener Rivet is commonly used in places where permanent connections are required, especially when welding or bolting is not applicable. It can tightly connect different materials such as sheet metal, plastic, and wood together. Such as metal frames in buildings, bridges, ship hulls, airplane fuselages, etc.

Rivets are used in the assembly of airplanes and spacecraft to withstand strong vibrations, temperature changes and other external pressures.

The fuselage, wings and other parts of airplanes are often connected using rivets, and in automobile manufacturing, rivets are used to connect different parts of the body, especially in complex processes where welding cannot be used.

Rivet connections provide very strong structural strength and maintain a high level of stability, especially in high temperature, high pressure or vibration environments.

Compared with welding, riveted connections do not require complex welding equipment, simple installation process, and suitable for some occasions where welding or high temperature operation is not possible.

Rivets are not only suitable for metal, but also can be used for wood, plastic and other materials connection, some special environments (such as ships, airplanes, etc.), rivets can play a good sealing role, to prevent liquid or gas leakage.
