2117 T4 aluminum rivets (material code AD) provide excellent strength after heat treatment, making them a preferred choice for semi-trailer and transportation applications. This heat-treatable alloy can be solution treated and naturally aged to achieve optimal mechanical properties. . The 2117 alloy offers superior strength compared to other aluminum grades while maintaining good corrosion resistance for outdoor applications.

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.

Trapezoid head rivets feature an angled, tapered profile that transitions from a wider top surface to a narrower base, creating a distinctive geometric appearance. This specialized head style provides good load distribution while offering clearance benefits in applications where standard round or flat heads might interfere with adjacent components. The trapezoidal shape is particularly useful in assemblies requiring specific angular clearances or where the head design needs to accommodate sliding or moving parts. While less common than other head styles, trapezoid heads solve unique engineering challenges in specialized industrial and machinery applications.
