Definition
A contact rivet formed from one specified material through the head and shank.
Development
Requirement clarification, drawing or sample checks, preliminary feasibility, sample development, and process verification support a final production quotation.
- Start with the information you have: Start with the drawing, sample, photo, or application information you have.
- Match the material: Choose the specified contact material for the forming process, assembly, and destination market.
- Shape the assembly interface: Define the head profile, shank form, and the way the rivet joins the customer assembly.
- Set a repeatable specification: The approved drawing, specification, and sample guide production and inspection.
Dimensions to confirm
Confirm the material, head profile, shank form, and assembly interface for each solid rivet.
- Head diameter, head thickness, shank diameter, shank length, and radius are confirmed from the drawing or sample.
- Material shape, surface condition, and assembly interface are reviewed together.
- Final dimensions and tolerances follow the approved drawing or sample.
| Dimension | How confirmed |
|---|---|
| Head diameter D | Drawing or sample |
| Head thickness T | Drawing or sample |
| Shank diameter d | Drawing or sample |
| Shank length L | Drawing or sample |
| Head profile / radius R | Drawing or sample |
Confirm these dimensions and tolerances from the drawing or sample, material system, and project review before production.
Manufacturing & Inspection
Manufacturing
The material and head-and-shank geometry determine the forming route.
- Specified material preparation
- Rivet forming to the approved head and shank profile
- Finished surface condition selected for the part
- Sampling before the production specification is finalized
Inspection
Inspection focuses on the features that establish a reliable assembly interface.
- Key dimensions and head/shank geometry
- Visual condition and finished surface
- Approved material and customer requirements
- Sample-to-production consistency
