1100 aluminum rivets (material code AF) are manufactured from commercially pure aluminum, providing maximum softness and formability. This non-heat-treatable alloy is ideal for applications requiring extensive forming or where minimal installation force is critical. While softer than other aluminum grades, 1100 offers excellent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.

Aluminum solid rivets offer an ideal combination of light weight, corrosion resistance, and workability for marine, transportation, and architectural applications. Our extensive aluminum rivet inventory includes multiple alloys to match your specific requirements for strength, formability, and environmental resistance. With our proprietary in-house heat treatment capabilities, we can provide aluminum rivets in various tempers to achieve the exact mechanical properties your application demands. Aluminum rivets are particularly popular in semi-trailer and boat manufacturing where weight savings and weather resistance are critical. Standard lead time is 2-3 weeks.

Countersunk solid rivets are designed to sit completely flush with the material surface, creating a smooth, aerodynamic finish. Available in multiple angles including 78°, 90°, 100°, and 144° configurations, these rivets match precisely with countersunk holes for a seamless appearance. While maintaining full shank strength for secure fastening, the flush-mount design is essential for applications requiring smooth surfaces, reduced drag, or clearance for moving parts. Countersunk rivets are particularly valuable in aerospace, automotive, and architectural applications where protruding fasteners would interfere with function or aesthetics.

Miniature solid rivets, ranging from 1/32" (0.0313") to .125) in diameter, provide precision fastening solutions for delicate assemblies and small-scale applications. These tiny fasteners require specialized manufacturing techniques and quality control to maintain dimensional accuracy at miniature scales. Common applications include precision bearings, toy manufacturing, electronic devices, gyroscopes, and cookie cutter assemblies. Our miniature rivet capabilities extend down to 0.020" diameter for specialized applications, though 0.030" represents a more practical minimum for most uses. Each miniature rivet is carefully inspected to ensure consistent quality in these demanding applications.
