Industrial Rivets

Rivets

Rivets are a proven fastening solution for permanent, vibration-resistant joints across industrial, construction, and manufacturing applications. Available in multiple materials—including steel, aluminum, and 304 stainless steel—these fasteners deliver dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and installation versatility. Common designations such as SBS, ABA, ABS, SSBSS, and SSB identify material combinations and performance characteristics suited to specific environments and load requirements.

Material Options for Performance and Durability

Steel Rivets (SBS)

Steel body/steel mandrel (SBS) rivets provide high shear and tensile strength, making them ideal for structural assemblies, heavy equipment, and metal fabrication. These rivets are commonly used where maximum joint integrity is required.

Aluminum Rivets (ABA, ABS)

Aluminum body/aluminum mandrel (ABA) rivets offer lightweight fastening with excellent corrosion resistance, perfect for HVAC, signage, and light sheet metal applications. Aluminum body/steel mandrel (ABS) rivets increase strength while maintaining corrosion resistance, making them a versatile option for mixed-material assemblies.

304 Stainless Steel Rivets (SSBSS, SSB)

304 stainless steel body/stainless mandrel (SSBSS) rivets deliver superior corrosion resistance for marine, food processing, and outdoor environments. Stainless body/steel mandrel (SSB) rivets combine strength and cost efficiency, suitable for applications requiring enhanced durability with moderate corrosion exposure.

Key Features and Specifications

Versatile Design and Installation

• Blind rivet design for one-sided installation

• Suitable for thin materials and hard-to-reach assemblies

• Available in multiple diameters and grip ranges

Strength and Corrosion Resistance

• Options for light, medium, and heavy-duty applications
