Rivets

ALUMINUM RIVETS

Solid Aluminum Rivets
Aerospace Rivets: In aircraft construction and repair, rivets are the primary method for securely joining aluminum and its alloys. These metal pins hold together various parts, forming a strong and reliable union. Rivets are used to fasten skin sections, spar sections, rib sections, fittings, and various aircraft components, as well as bracing members. This is the one major types of rivets used: common solid shank rivets
