Open End Blind Rivets

Custom Stainless Steel Open End Blind Rivets, made of stainless steel and aluminum, also rivets can be manufactured with standard steel, copper and brass. We can also add various surface treatments and customize sizing to suit clients' specific applications. These rivets utilize a built-in plastic cap to provide waterproof fastening. They also help to prevent corrosion during the working.

Open end blind rivets, also known as pop rivets, are a type of fastener used to join two or more materials together. They consist of a rivet body and a mandrel, which is a thin rod that extends through the center of the rivet.

The rivet body has a hollow cylindrical shape with a slightly larger diameter than the mandrel. The mandrel is inserted into the rivet body and protrudes from one end.

To install an open end blind rivet, a rivet gun is used. The rivet is placed through pre-drilled holes in the materials to be joined, and the gun is used to pull the mandrel through the rivet body. As the mandrel is pulled, it deforms the rivet body, creating a bulge on the blind side of the materials. This bulge creates a secure joint between the materials.

Open end blind rivets are commonly used in applications where access to the blind side of the materials is limited or impossible. They are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing. They offer a fast and efficient method of joining materials, and can be easily installed with basic hand tools.
