DOME HEAD
CLOSED End “CUP” Blind Rivets
Also known as Sealed Blind Rivet.
Designed with a completely closed body, this rivet is ideal for applications that need to be water/pressure tight or where mandrel retention is paramount.
Used for providing a leak-proof joint.
DOME HEAD CLOSED RIVETS
Dome Headed or sometimes called Round head blind rivet is the most versatile and commonly used type whose lower profile head is approx. twice the diameter of the rivet body.
This provides adequate bearing surface for nearly all applications where metals are being joined.
Available in a number of material combinations.
Aluminium Rivets:
Aluminium-Steel – Lightweight and inexpensive. Easily available. Has low strength. Rivets can tear/fail with load.
Blind Rivet Closed End Dome Head AL-ST E1D35G
Aluminium-Aluminium – Extremely lightweight and useful for Aerospace applications. Low strength. Usage must be carefully planned for load.
Blind Rivet Closed End Dome Head AL-AL E6D35G
Aluminium – Stainless Steel – This combination has excellent corrosion resistance and better strength. Offers a flexible option for many situations.
Blind Rivet Closed End Dome Head AL-SS E8D35G
STEEL AND STAINLESS STEEL RIVETS
Steel-Steel – Good strength and relatively low cost of rivet. As the rivet body is Steel they are subject to corrosion.
Stainless Steel – Stainless Steel – Has excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. Rivets are relative expensive and require stronger tools for installation.

Blind Rivet Closed End Dome Head A4-Duplex B6D35G
Blind Rivet Closed End Dome Head A4-C1 B6D35S
Stainless Steel – Steel – This combination permits easier installation because the steel mandrel breaks easily compared to an SS one. Reduced cost as compared with SS mandrel.
COPPER RIVETS
Copper-Steel – Use where electrical conductivity is required.
Blind Rivet Closed End Dome Head CU-ST F3D35G
Copper-Stainless Steel – Use where electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance is required.

CSK HEAD CLOSED RIVETS
Countersunk or CSK head profile provides a neat and flush finish to the joint.
This enables multiple layered assembly and also a safe surface without any projection.
Available in a number of material combinations.

LARGE FLANGE CLOSED RIVETS
The large flange blind rivets are very useful for joining low density materials.
In particular when the softer material is on the front side, the large flange spreads the load over a larger area and prevents the rivet from penetrating the material.
