In the construction space, there are different types of fasteners available, each with its own unique benefit. One type of fastener that's growing in popularity is the stainless steel rivet. Rivets are commonly used to join two or more pieces of metal together, they are especially useful in applications where welds can't be used.
Welding is a common method construction workers use to join two or more pieces of metal together. However, this isn't always possible or practical. In these cases, they often use rivets. Rivets are essentially small metal pins that are inserted into holes in the materials being joined and then deformed so that they cannot be removed. This creates a very strong bond between the two pieces of metal.
There are many different types of rivets, each with its own unique set of benefits. One type of rivet that is gaining popularity in recent years is the stainless steel rivet. To give you a better understanding of what this type of rivet is and how it can be used, we've compiled a list of some common applications of stainless steel rivets.
Boats, ships, and other marine vessels often incorporate stainless steel. This is because stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, which is important in saltwater environments. When it comes to joining two pieces of stainless steel together, rivets are often the best option.
General construction, mining, power and energy, oil and gas, rail and road transport, and water infrastructure, are all industries that make use of stainless steel rivets. They are ideal to join two pieces of metal in a sturdy and secure way.
In the automotive space where welding is often used, stainless steel rivets are gaining popularity too. They are extremely reliable and are unlikely to loosen like other types of fasteners. Trailers and campers are where we see these the most.
Since wall signs and other decorations are placed outdoors and susceptible to the elements, it's important to use a type of rivet that won't rust. Stainless steel rivets are perfect for this application as they are resistant to corrosion. Moreover, wall signs are commonly placed in elevated areas that can't be easily reached. Opting for screw bolts that can be loosened easily is not always ideal.
There are virtually infinite household applications for the use of stainless steel rivets. From attaching window blinds in place and joining two pieces of wood together, to more creative applications like making a coat rack or picture frame, stainless steel rivets can be used in a variety of ways around the house.
