Riveting

Blind Rivets

We take a φ5 mm stainless steel/stainless steel blind rivet as an example. It joins two 2 mm thick aluminum sheets. We follow ISO 14589 for testing. The ultimate shear force is ≥2.5 kN. The ultimate

Press-fit Screws

We take an M5 carbon steel press fit screw as an example. We press it into a 1.5 mm thick SPCC steel sheet. The needed press force is about 4-6 kN. After installation, the push-out force is ≥250 N.

Press-fit Nuts

We take an M4 stainless steel press fit nut as an example. We press it into a 1.2 mm thick SECC zinc coated sheet. The needed press force is about 2.5-4 kN. After installation, the push-out force is

Special Rivet

We take a φ5×12 mm semi-hollow rivet as an example. The hollow depth is 6 mm. The wall thickness is 0.8 mm. The joint strength after riveting is ≥1.5 kN. This works for luggage pull rods or hinge

Pull Rivets

We take an M6 stainless steel pull rivet as an example. We put it into a 1.5 mm thick SPCC steel sheet. The drill hole is φ8.5 mm. The needed pull force (installation force) is 8-12 kN. After
