5 Reasons Why Rivets are Preferred Over Other Fasteners
Rivets have been considered one of the most reliable fasteners on the market for many, many years. There are many styles of fasteners available, but rivets are the preferred choice for a wide variety of applications due to the unique advantages they offer as opposed to screws, bolts, and other fasteners. Let’s look at five reasons why rivets from Securit are the better choice of fastener.
Increased Structural Integrity
Rivets provide an exceptionally strong structural hold, due to their unique design. Unlike screws or bolts which rely on threads that can loosen, rivets are designed to hold tightly and permanently no matter what sort of application you use them for.
Resistance to Vibration
In applications with a high amount of vibration or dynamic loads, screws and bolts can loosen over time, potentially compromising the integrity of the joint and creating an unsafe situation. Rivets are a popular choice for automotive manufacturing, aerospace, and other applications in which a tight fit is essential for long-term success.
Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion can wreak havoc on fasteners in a number of different industries, which is why rivets are such a popular choice. They don’t have threads like screws or bolts, so they are far less vulnerable to corrosion, making them much more durable than other fastener options.
Improved Aesthetics
Beyond the structural and mechanical advantages of using rivets, there’s also an aesthetic advantage. Rivets are designed to sit flush with the surfaces they are fastening, so they are much preferred for electronics, architecture, or other applications in which aesthetics are important.
Easy Application
Rivets are far easier and more efficient to install, as opposed to threaded fasteners that may require different tools. This ease of installation increases production efficiency while also providing a stronger hold.
