What is the use of rivet?

Rivets are fasteners that are not threaded. Every item has a usage scene and its purpose. Rivets are commonly used for riveting joints between objects and usually require the use of specific special tools for operation. There are many types of rivets, such as semi-circular rivet, countersunk rivets, and semi-recessed rivets to meet different operational needs. So what are the uses of different rivets?

Semi-circular rivets are used for rivets that are subjected to large lateral loads and are the most widely used.
Button head rivets are more resistant to corrosion due to their larger nail heads and are often used in corrosive environments such as hulls, boilers, and water tanks.
Countersunk rivets are used for rivet that require a smooth surface and low load. The carrying capacity is lower than the semicircular head.
Semi-recessed rivets are used for rivets that require a smooth surface and low load.
Turning flat rivets for strong seams.
Cold-formed flat head rivets are used for rivet joints between sheet metal or non-metallic materials.
Blind rivets are used for single-sided riveting of automotive body panels, brackets, and the like.
Drive screw is used for the riveting of the sign.

The above is the use of all kinds of rivet. If there are any omissions or mistakes, please feel free to ask us and we will correct them.
