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.

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.
