Product Summary

Longze High-Strength Solid Rivets (DIN 660 / ASME B18.1.1) are the industry standard for creating permanent, high-shear structural joints. Manufactured in Yongnian, China,

our solid rivets are cold-headed with a precision-formed semi-circular (Round) head to ensure maximum load distribution. Whether for aircraft-grade aluminum framing, heavy-duty

truck bodies, or stainless steel cookware, Longze solid rivets provide a vibration-proof, tamper-evident bond that expands to fill the hole, ensuring zero movement between joined components.

• ✔ Superior Material Ductility: Our rivets undergo a specialized annealing process to ensure perfect malleability, allowing the tail to form a secure "shop head" without cracking or stress fractures.

•  

• ✔ High Shear Strength: Unlike blind rivets, the solid shank provides a continuous cross-section of metal, offering significantly higher shear resistance for heavy-duty structural loading.

•  

• ✔ Precision Diameter Control: Manufactured to strict DIN 660 h11 tolerances, our rivet shanks ensure a snug fit in pre-drilled holes, preventing joint slippage and ensuring structural alignment.

• Standards: DIN 660 (Round Head), ASME B18.1.1 (Small Rivets), ISO 1051.

•  

• Diameter Range: 1.0 mm to 36.0 mm | 1/16" to 1-1/2".

•  

• Length Range: 3 mm to 200 mm.

•  

• Material Options: Aluminum (5052/6061), Stainless Steel (304/316), Copper, Carbon Steel.

•

•  

• Surface Finish: Anodized (Aluminum), Passivated (Stainless), Plain, Zinc Plated.

Mechanical Properties & Material Standards

• Matching the rivet material to the substrate to prevent galvanic corrosion.

  Stainless 304	A2	500 - 600 MPa	≥ 40%	Food Grade / Marine
  Stainless 316	A4	550 - 650 MPa	≥ 35%	Chemical / Coastal
  Copper	C1100	180 - 220 MPa	≥ 30%	Electrical / Decor

Avoid Pitfalls:

• Material Mismatch: Never use a stainless steel rivet on an aluminum sheet unless you use a barrier coating. This prevents Galvanic Corrosion (the aluminum will rot away). Longze recommends matching the rivet material to the base material.

•  

• Incorrect Length Selection: A rivet that is too long will bend rather than expand; one that is too short won't form a secure shop head. As a rule of thumb, use a length = Total Material Thickness + 1.5x Rivet Diameter.

•  

• Work Hardening: If you hammer the rivet too much, it becomes brittle. Our Annealed Series rivets are designed to flow smoothly with minimal force, ensuring a tight, crack-free head.

•  

Perfect Fit Assembly:

• Matched Rivet Sets: Use the correct concave "rivet set" tool that matches the DIN 660 head radius. Using a flat tool on a round head will deform the aesthetic and weaken the joint.

•  

• Hole Clearance: For the best expansion, ensure your drill bit is 0.1mm - 0.2mm larger than the rivet diameter.

•  

Quality Control & Logistics:

• ISO 9001 Certified: 5-step QC including computerized diameter verification, grain flow analysis (to check for internal cracks), and ductility testing.

•  

• Sea-Worthy Packaging: Rivets are packed in plastic-lined 25kg cartons or bags, then secured in reinforced crates to ensure no oxidation or physical damage during export from our Yongnian hub.

• Q: Can you provide large diameter rivets for bridge or ship construction? A: Yes, we manufacture heavy-duty solid rivets up to 36mm (1-1/2") diameter for hot-riveting applications in heavy infrastructure.

• Q: Do you offer ASME B18.1.1 sizes? A: Absolutely. We produce a full line of Imperial small rivets (under 7/16") and large rivets for the North American truck and trailer industry.
