Perhaps many people do not know what step rivets are, let alone their specific uses. Below are some materials compiled about step rivets for your reference only.
Firstly, let's understand the application areas of step rivets and where they are used. Step rivets are mainly used in products such as automobiles, electric vehicles, motor tricycles, professional agricultural machinery brake systems, handbrakes, construction, ships, airplanes, machines, electrical appliances, furniture, etc.
In the case of step rivets with low load, step rivets with semi countersunk head and 1200 semi countersunk head rivets are mainly used for riveting with smooth surfaces, while flat head rivets are used for riveting with general loads. Flat head and flat round head rivets are mainly used for riveting non-metallic materials such as metal sheets, leather, canvas, and wood. There are semi-circular rivets, flat head rivets, semi hollow rivets, solid rivets, countersunk rivets, pop rivets, and hollow rivets used for step rivets, which usually use their own deformation to connect the riveted parts. (Generally, cold riveting is used for sizes smaller than 8 millimeters, and hot riveting is used for sizes larger than.) However, there are exceptions, such as the nameplate on a three ring lock, which is riveted using the interference fit between the rivet and the lock body hole.
The above is the compiled knowledge about step rivets, hoping to bring some help to everyone.
