Hastelloy C276 Rivets
What are Rivet Fasteners in Detail?
Rivet fasteners are a type of mechanical fastener used to create permanent and strong connections between materials. They consist of a smooth cylindrical shaft, known as the shank, and a formed head on one end. During installation, they are inserted into pre-drilled holes in the materials to be joined. The shank is then deformed or “bucked” using specialized tools, creating a secure and permanent connection.
Rivet fasteners have several advantages:
Strength and Reliability: Provides excellent strength and reliability due to their unique installation method. The deformation of the rivet’s shank creates a tight and permanent connection that can withstand heavy loads and resist loosening or disassembly.
Vibration Resistance: Offers exceptional resistance to vibration and movement, making them suitable for applications subjected to constant motion or stress. The secure and tight connection provided by rivets prevents components from loosening or separating due to vibrations.
Corrosion Resistance: Made from corrosion-resistant materials, such as Hastelloy C276 , exhibit excellent resistance to corrosive environments. This makes them ideal for applications exposed to harsh conditions, including chemicals, moisture, and high temperatures.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Enhances the aesthetics of assembled structures by providing a clean and finished appearance. The visible formed heads of rivets can add a decorative element to the design while maintaining structural integrity.
Mechanical Specification of Hastelloy C276 Rivets
Hastelloy C276 rivets, manufactured by Shivalik Forged & Fittings, possess the following mechanical specifications:

Applications of Rivets
- Aerospace: Widely used in aircraft construction, providing secure connections for structural components such as wings, fuselage, and control surfaces.
- Automotive: Used in automotive manufacturing for joining body panels, frames, and various structural components.
- Construction: Plays a crucial role in construction applications, including bridges, buildings, and infrastructure. They provide strong and reliable connections for structural steelwork.
- Electrical and Electronics: Utilized in electrical and electronic devices for securing components, including circuit boards and casings.
- Consumer Goods: Employed in the manufacturing of consumer goods such as furniture, appliances, and accessories, providing secure and aesthetically pleasing connections.
How Hastelloy C276 Benefits the Quality of Rivets
Hastelloy C276 offers several benefits that enhance the quality and performance of rivets:
Corrosion Resistance: Hastelloy C276 is highly resistant to corrosion caused by various aggressive chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and reducing agents. This corrosion resistance ensures the long-term durability and reliability of the rivets, even in harsh environments.
High Strength: Hastelloy C276 exhibit high strength, allowing them to withstand heavy loads and provide secure connections. Their excellent mechanical properties make them suitable for demanding applications where strength and reliability are essential.
Temperature Resistance: Hastelloy C276 maintains its mechanical properties over a wide temperature range, from cryogenic temperatures up to 1040°C (1900°F). This temperature resistance allows the rivets to maintain their strength and integrity in extreme operating conditions.
Weldability: Hastelloy C276 are easily weldable, providing flexibility in assembly and fabrication processes. This allows for convenient integration into various structures and components.
Types of Rivets and Pointers
There are different types of rivets available, each suited for specific applications:
Solid Rivets: Consisting of a solid cylindrical shaft and a formed head. They are widely used in structural applications that require high strength and reliability.
Blind Rivets: Designed for applications where access is limited to one side of the materials being joined. They are easy to install and provide a secure connection without requiring access to both sides of the assembly.
Tubular Rivets: Consist of a hollow cylindrical shaft and are commonly used in applications where light weight and low cost are priorities. They find usage in leather goods, garments, and light-duty applications.
Drive Rivets: Solid shank with a round, flat head on one end and a tubular, flared tail on the other end. They are typically installed by hammering or driving the tail into the shank, creating a secure connection.
