1. What is an Extended Ordinary Aluminum-Iron Rivet exactly?
An Extended Ordinary Aluminum-Iron Rivet is a specialized fastening product designed for connecting thick or multi-layer workpieces. It features an extended rivet body (with lengths ranging from 10mm to 70mm, customizable) and adopts a composite structure of aluminum alloy (rivet body) and high-strength iron (mandrel). Different from standard rivets that are only suitable for thin workpieces, its extended design enables stable connection of workpieces with a total thickness of 5mm to 45mm. It follows the basic working principle of blind rivets: when the rivet gun pulls the iron mandrel, the aluminum alloy rivet body expands and clamps the workpieces tightly, achieving a firm and durable connection.
2. What core advantages does it have compared to standard rivets and other extended fasteners?
It stands out in three key aspects:
·Targeted Extended Design for Thick Workpieces: The extended rivet body directly addresses the pain point that standard rivets “cannot reach” or “connect unstably” in thick workpiece scenarios. For example, in the connection of 30mm-thick steel plates and aluminum profiles, it can penetrate smoothly and form a sufficient clamping area, while standard rivets of the same diameter will fail due to insufficient length.
·Aluminum-Iron Composite for Balanced Performance: The aluminum alloy rivet body has the advantages of light weight, good corrosion resistance, and excellent compatibility with aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous metal workpieces; the high-strength iron mandrel provides sufficient pulling force (tensile strength up to 280MPa), ensuring that the rivet body does not deform or break during installation. Compared with all-steel extended rivets, it reduces weight by 35% and avoids galvanic corrosion with non-ferrous workpieces; compared with all-aluminum extended rivets, its shear strength is increased by 40%.
·Cost-Effective and Easy to Popularize: As an “ordinary” series product, it abandons overly complex structural designs (such as trifold or multi-lock structures) while ensuring performance, reducing production costs. Its price is only 15%-20% higher than that of standard rivets, which is far lower than that of specialized high-end extended fasteners. At the same time, it is compatible with ordinary manual or pneumatic rivet guns, and no additional special equipment is required for installation, greatly lowering the threshold for use
