    Rivet

    A rivet is a fastener used to permanently join two or more components. During the riveting process, the rivet is inserted through preformed holes in the components to be joined and then deformed. This creates a head that permanently joins the components together.

    MN Kaltformteile manufactures various types of rivets using cold forming. These include solid rivets and semi-tubular rivets.

    Rivets for permanent joints

    Rivets are used when several components need to be permanently joined together. Unlike a screw connection, a riveted joint cannot usually be separated without causing damage.

    Depending on the application, different rivet geometries can be used. MN Kaltformteile manufactures, amongst other things, solid rivets and semi-tubular rivets. In the case of semi-tubular rivets, the partially hollow shank facilitates deformation during the joining process.

    Thanks to a variety of geometries and materials, rivets can be specifically tailored to the requirements of the respective assembly and joining process.
