General Information — Blind Rivets
Blind rivets are used for fastening materials where access is only available from one side. They come in various head styles, including buttonhead, large flange, and countersunk, each offering specific benefits like low profile, greater bearing surface, and flush appearance.

Design Information
Key considerations for rivet selection include shear and tensile strength, material compatibility to prevent galvanic corrosion, grip range, and appropriate hole sizes. Testing is recommended to ensure joint strength requirements are met.

Rivet Types and Specifications

Steel Rivets: Available in various diameters and grip ranges, offering high shear and tensile strength.
Aluminum Rivets: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, suitable for softer materials.
Stainless Rivets: Provide excellent corrosion resistance and strength.
Closed-End Rivets: Offer moisture resistance and retained mandrel for increased strength.
Multi-Grip Rivets: Reduce inventory needs with extended grip range.
Specialty Rivets: Include options like Tri-Bulb and Q-Lok for specific applications.

Installation Tools
AFS provides a range of hand, air/hydraulic, and battery rivet tools, with specifications and capacity charts available for selection guidance.

Rivet Nuts
Rivet nuts are introduced with general information and series specifications, including MRN, MPN, MLR, and others, each designed for specific applications and material compatibilities.

Conclusion
AFS offers a robust selection of rivets and tools, emphasizing quality, customization, and customer service to meet diverse industrial fastening needs.

Specifications

Aluminum Rivets: Made from 5052 aluminum with an aluminum mandrel, conforming to IFI Grade 11. Available in buttonhead, large flange, and 120° countersunk styles. Strength ratings vary by size.
Aluminum/Steel Rivets: Feature a 5056 aluminum rivet with a coated steel mandrel, conforming to IFI Grade 19. Offered in similar styles as aluminum rivets with varying strength ratings.
