Form the head and shank from one specified material.
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.
| 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.
- 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.
Manufacturing & inspection
Manufacturing route
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 focus
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
Materials & applications
Material systems
- Ag and silver-alloy material systems
- AgNi, AgSnO2, AgCdO, Cu, and specified materials
- One specified material across the head and shank
Typical applications
- Relays
- Switches
- Contactors
- Circuit breakers
