Rivets are ideally used to fasten the places where high strength is desirable. They generally provide a tamper-proof bond and is very useful in aircraft and automobile industries. Rivets are also useful for assembling clothing and tools. The best type of rivets generally has a mushroom type structure and completely differs from the Abu Dhabi bolts. The narrow type of rivets are wide head and are widely available in the market. Nonetheless, the most commonly used rivets in the manufacturing and heavy industries are the solid rivets and here we sum up the 5 popular advantages of the same: -

·  Cost-effective

The solid rivets are the cheapest in the market and their extreme low-cost doesn’t interfere with their extreme efficacy. They are an alternative to various welding and adhesive joints and support the various assembly operations. This helps in controlling the production cost and makes it more cost-effective

·  Increase in the output

Solid rivets are very easy to install, the hydraulic tools or the hammers are enough to install them which enable quick assembly of items and in return keeping the production cost down

·  Design flexibility

There are different types of rivets that are available in the market and they include oval head, brazier head, round head, tubular form, and button heads. To meet the decorative needs, they are designed in various designs and styles and can also be painted and polished to blend with the work done

·  High resilience

Since they generally contain hard metals, they remain in their earlier form even during installation. They don’t break, chip or wear off in anyway during the whole installation process. Once they are installed, they generally last for several years. Two people are required to install the joints and can be accessed from both the sides which are very easy to handle. This feature helps in controlling the quality process and the tamper-proof quality assures high standard manufacturers. The sheer strength adds value to the items

·  Durable

The solid fasteners or the rivets have high resistance or corrosion resistance power when exposed to chemicals or moistures. The rivets are generally made up of stainless steel or galvanized steel, aluminum alloys or the nickel-based metals. Once they are installed, they normally last for years together and never expected to be taken care of for ages together. They do not usually wear or tear off and contribute to the longevity of the fastened items

Advantages of bolts

·  The unskilled labors can also install it with the help of simple tools

·  Noiseless installation

·  No special process or equipment is required for the installation of bolts

·  A fast process of the work

·  Deformation is not possible and this leads to no wastage of materials

·  Noiseless fabrication as they are generally installed with the help of wrenches

·  Due to the smaller number of bolts, there is always a reduction in the size of the gusset plate

·  Alteration is required can be easily done with the help of welded or rivets
