Construction and supply options.

01

Head and shank profiles

Flat, rounded and short-shank forms provide different interfaces for assembly.

02

Match the material

Choose the specified contact material for the forming process, assembly, and destination market.

03

Shape the assembly interface

Define the head profile, shank form, and the way the rivet joins the customer assembly.

04

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.

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

Understand the Structure and Key Features

Solid

One specified material forms both the head and the shank.

Sample and quote

Share the required material, head profile, shank geometry, finish, and joining interface. Include the drawing or sample reference, expected quantity, and required timing. With sufficient drawings or specifications, we can prepare a quotation before sampling. Any sample or process validation required for the project is agreed and completed before mass production.
