Where are tubular rivets used?

Tubular rivets are widely used in assembly scenarios that require unilateral operation due to their special hollow structure and blind riveting characteristics.

In the aerospace field, they are often used for quick connection between aluminum alloy skins and frames. The pressure of pneumatic tools is used to expand the rivet body to fill the hole wall, forming a reliable shear-resistant node while reducing the weight of the structure.

In automobile manufacturing, they are used for splicing thin body panels. Mixed connections of dissimilar materials (such as steel and composite materials) can be completed without welding to avoid the impact of thermal deformation on precision parts.

When assembling the housing of electronic equipment, tubular rivets can penetrate multi-layer circuit boards or metal brackets for positioning and fastening, and their insulating coating can effectively prevent the risk of short circuits.

In the field of ships and rail transportation, tubular rivets made of stainless steel or titanium alloy are used to achieve long-term anti-corrosion fixation in humid and salt spray environments. During maintenance, they can be non-destructively disassembled by drilling out old rivets.

In curtain wall projects, closed tubular rivets pre-coated with sealant can not only bear the load of glass or metal plates, but also form a waterproof sealing layer.

For the reinforcement needs of soft substrates (such as plastic boxes), flared tubular rivets can disperse contact pressure and avoid material cracking during installation.

Micro tubular rivets made of biocompatible materials are used in medical equipment for the precise assembly of wearable devices or implants.

Its spark-free characteristics also make it the preferred fastening solution for explosion-proof areas of oil and gas pipelines, and it can achieve efficient assembly on the assembly line with automated riveting equipment.
