Tinmen’s rivet is commonly used in
light sheet-metal work due to its
flat, shallow head that provides a neat and smooth finish. These rivets are generally smaller in size and are used in applications such as ductwork, light enclosures, and thin metal fabrications. They help in fastening thin sheets of metal without causing significant deformation.
Tinmen’s Rivet Features:
· Small, flat, or round head for a flush finish.
· Used for lightweight assemblies where appearance and minimal material thickness are crucial.
Applications:
Light-duty sheet metal work, such as assembling cans, enclosures, and lightweight metal products.
Material: Tinmen’s rivets are often made of soft materials like brass, aluminum, or mild steel to suit thin and flexible sheets.
There are following other types of rivets:
| Pan head rivet |
It is used in heavy structural work where the strength of the rivet is very important |
| Snap head or bottom head |
It is the most commonly used form and gives a very strong joint. |
| Blind rivet |
Blind rivets, commonly referred to as ‘pop’ rivets are tubular and are supplied with a nail-like mandrel through the center which has a “necked” or weakened area near the head. |
