List of featured suppliers of RIVETS on Building Products Index
A rivet is a type of fastener which is used to permanently attach two or more pieces of material together. It consists of a cylindrical metal shaft with a head on one end and a tail on the other. The tail is placed into a pre-drilled hole, and then the head is hammered, or pressed, down so that it deforms and creates a strong joint between the materials. Rivets are commonly used in applications that require high strength and durability, such as in bridges, aircraft, and heavy machinery.
