These aerospace-grade stainless rivets combine exceptional shear strength with permanent fastening capability. The cold-formed 304 stainless steel provides reliable performance in outdoor environments, withstanding salt spray, UV exposure, and temperature extremes (-40°F to 800°F). Three important uses: 1) Permanent assembly of stainless steel architectural panels on coastal high-rise buildings. 2) Secure fastening of truck bodies and trailers exposed to road salts and vibration. 3) Critical structural joints in railway rolling stock requiring fire resistance. Special breakstem mandrel designs ensure consistent setting force, while the large flange options distribute load for thin materials.
