SS 446 Rivets
What are Rivets?
Rivet fasteners are a specific type of mechanical fastener extensively used for permanent joining of materials. They consist of a cylindrical shaft with a head on one end and a tail on the other. They are installed by deforming or “setting” the tail end, which expands and creates a secure joint between the materials being fastened. Rivets offer several advantages over other fasteners:
Permanent Joining: Provides a permanent and secure connection, ensuring the integrity and strength of the joint.
High Strength: Offers excellent shear and tensile strength, making them suitable for applications that require structural integrity and load-bearing capabilities.
Vibration Resistance: Is resistant to loosening due to vibrations, ensuring a reliable connection even under dynamic conditions.
Corrosion Resistance: Depending on the material used, can offer corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments.

Corrosion Resistance: Stainless Steel 446 is highly resistant to corrosion, especially in environments with high temperatures and oxidative conditions, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the riveted joints.
Strength and Durability: Stainless Steel 446 provide exceptional strength, hardness, and durability, making them suitable for demanding applications that require robust connections.
Cost-Effective: Stainless Steel 446 offers a balance between performance and cost, making it a cost-effective choice for various riveting applications.
Types of Rivets Available
Shivalik Forged & Fittings offers a variety of stainless steel 446 rivet types to meet different application needs:
Solid Rivets: One-piece fasteners with a solid shaft and head. They are commonly used in applications requiring high strength and a permanent connection.
Blind Rivets: Known as pop rivets, are designed for applications where access is limited to one side of the joint. They consist of a mandrel and a tubular rivet body and are set using a rivet gun.
Tubular Rivets: Contains a hollow tubular shaft and are often used in applications where a permanent but detachable connection is required.
Split Rivets: Has two legs that split apart when set, providing a secure connection. They are commonly used in leatherwork and bookbinding applications.
