dome head rivet

Blind dome head rivet are also known as POP Rivets. They are used in applications that have no access to the back (blindside) of the joint. Two-piece rivets are used in specific applications.

One is the rivet body, shell or hat, and the other is the stem or mandrel. Both the mandrel and cap are already assembled and ready for use.

Installing long rivets involves using a riveting device to draw the mandrel. This causes the body of the dome head rivet to deform and clamp on the joint.

The mandrel is then snapped when it reaches the clamping force. Blind rivets are material-independent so that they can be used with different materials in the same way.

What is the Work of Rivet?

dome head rivet are made up of two parts. The first is the rivet body, also known as the shell of the hat. The second is the mandrel, also known as the stem.

A hole is made through the components to be joined in situations where there is limited access. The rivet body is then brought into contact by the parts, and a pop rivet is inserted through the hole.

What are the Parts of a Blind Rivet?

Pop rivets: are also known as blind rivets. These rivets are helpful when access to the rear (blind) side of the parts is restricted or impossible.

Rivet pin: This is the slot and main body of the rivet will pass through the material being joined.

Rivethead: To stop the rivet from sliding out of the material, the head will be placed outside your material.

Rivet Mandrel: When the rivet is fastened, the mandrel inside the rivet gun. The gun then pushes the mandrel through the pin and then deforms it to make another head and snaps off the mandrel.

Rivet head mandrel: This expands the body and then embeds itself within the dome head rivet. It creates a second head that secures and fastens the pieces being joined.

What are the Different Types of Rivets?

Blind rivets are also known as pop rivets. They have a cylindrical hollow pin (body) that is attached to the head. The mandrel is a long narrow pin with a pointed head that passes through the body’s recess.

The head of the driver bits acts as a stop at one end of the body and the rivet head. Blind rivets come in a variety of heads and bodies. They can be made from different materials.

1. Standard Blind Rivets

For metal to metal, standard blind rivets are used. They come with simple bodies and domed heads. The body expands at the “blind” end if you pull the mandrel through the rivet body.

This creates a second head that can permanently join the materials. A variety of industries use standard rivets: automotive, construction, metals and electrical appliances.

2. Sealed Blind Rivets

This blind rivet has a sealed end. The mandrel heads do not protrude from rivet ends like other blind rivets. Sealed rivets are designed to protect the metal from metal by preventing liquids from leaking or entering.

This seals the component from liquids entering and exiting. These are ideal for use in the construction, automotive, and metal industries.

3. Peeled Blind Rivets

Peeled rivets allow for a locking head to have a larger diameter. This gives them a more excellent bearing surface (underside) of the head). The body expands as the mandrel is pulled through it, creating a head that resembles a flower with four petals.

This M8 150mm Forgefix Concrete Bolts is ideal for attaching metal to soft materials. The rivet’s sides (or petals) fold over, creating a head that fastens the materials together.

These rivets can be used in construction (plasterboards, coatings, insulation) and are suitable for automobiles.

4. Grooved Blind Rivets

These rivets have grooves on the pin, which offer them excellent gripping power when installing soft materials like wood and plastic.

Grooved rivets can attach metal to wood or metal to building materials like cement, brick, and wooden. As the mandrel is removed, the tail of a grooved-riveted rivet expands within the material.

The insulation fixings material using friction, not with a second head. At the same time, the head at one end grips the object connected to it, the head at the other grips the rivet.

5. Multigrip Blind Rivets

Multi-grip rivets have indents on the rivet body that are identical to standard rivets. When the mandrel is pulled through a body, the indents expand to provide multiple grips. These rivets can be used to fasten metal to plastic or plastic to plastic.

As the mandrel is pulled out, the riveting force’s multiple grips against the material are riveted. Multigrip rivets can be used in automotive, construction, metal, electrical appliance, furniture, ladder manufacturing, air conditioning, heating, and other industries.

6. Soft Set Blind Rivets

Standard rivets can be used to make soft rivets. The body and mandrel of smooth rivets are made from a softer metal, usually an alloy of aluminium.

Because the mandrel is less intense than other types, it can apply enough pressure to fix brittle materials without causing them to become damaged.

These rivets can be used to fasten metal-to fibreglass, metal-to-wood, metal to plastic, plastic to plastic, and metal to soft materials. These smooth rivets are suitable for plastic components, packaging, furniture, containers, and construction work.

7. Blind Rivets Heads

Blind rivets are available in many body styles. They can also be made with different head types. The concrete fixing grooves are embedded in the material, and they hold it together almost as a screw. It doesn’t need to go through the material.

8. Dome Head Blind Rivets

The dome head has enough bearing surface to fasten many materials except plastic and extremely smooth or brittle materials like plastic.

The contact between two materials is called the bearing surface. It is the surface under the head or rivet that makes contact with the cloth being fastened.

9. Rivets For Large Head Blinds

A large head has twice the bearing surface of a dome-head rivet. This gives you excellent resistance and can be used to fasten brittle or soft materials onto rigid support materials.

10. Countersunk Head Blind Rivets

The material’s countersunk head can be inserted into the material without protruding from the surface.
