3. International Mainstream Materials & Processes
Materials: Aluminum alloy, stainless steel 304/316, carbon steel, copper alloy, meeting different strength and anti-corrosion requirements.
Processes: Cold heading forming (tolerance ±0.05mm), riveting / blind riveting, no thermal damage, no coating damage.
Surface Treatment: Galvanizing, nickel plating, Dacromet, anodizing, salt spray test ≥ 500–2000 hours.
4. International Application Characteristics
- Efficient Assembly: One-sided operation, no rear access required, compatible with automated production lines, standard in European and American sheet metal factories.
- Thin Sheet Adaptation: Perfectly solves 0.3–3mm thin sheet joining, avoids welding deformation and thread stripping.
- Dissimilar Material Joining: Metal + plastic, aluminum + steel, etc., no pre-treatment required, globally universal technology.
- Appearance & Precision: Smooth surface after riveting, no burrs, meeting precision sheet metal appearance requirements.
- Reliability: Vibration-resistant and anti-loosening, passes 2 million times vibration test, compliant with international industrial standards.
- Cost Advantage: Comprehensive cost reduced by 30%–50% compared with welding and bolts, suitable for mass production.
3. International General Core Standards (Doors & Windows + Sheet Metal)
- ISO: ISO 16585 (closed-end blind rivet), ISO 15981 (open-end blind rivet), ISO 12367 (semi-tubular rivet), ISO 16530 (solid rivet)
- DIN: DIN 7337 (blind rivet), DIN 674 (semi-tubular rivet)
- ASME: B18.7 (semi / full tubular rivet)
- ASTM: F606 (structural rivet), A502 (structural steel rivet)
4. Global Application Trends & Technical Directions
- High Strength & Lightweight: Increasing proportion of aluminum alloy and titanium alloy rivets in high-end doors/windows and automotive sheet metal.
- Upgraded Sealing & Anti-corrosion: Popularization of closed-end and 316 stainless steel rivets in coastal / outdoor scenarios, salt spray ≥ 1000 hours.
- Automation & Intelligence: Fully automatic blind riveting / pressing equipment, visual positioning, precision ±0.05mm, standard in European and American factories.
- Environmental Compliance: Chromium-free passivation, Dacromet coating, compliant with EU RoHS, REACH, and North American EPA requirements.
- Structural Optimization: Structural rivets such as multi-grip and Hemlok, strength increased by 30%–50%, better fatigue resistance.
