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.

Brazier head rivets feature an extra-wide, low-profile head that provides superior bearing surface and pull-through resistance. The larger head diameter distributes load over a greater area, reducing stress on soft materials and thin sheets while maintaining an attractive, finished appearance. This head style is particularly popular in trailer manufacturing and marine applications where the combination of holding power and weather resistance is critical. The distinctive wide-head design also adds a decorative element, making brazier heads a preferred choice for visible fastening applications.
