About Rivet Washers
Rivet Washers, also commonly referred to as backup washers, are used in a variety of applications, from automotive and aerospace to construction and furniture making. Rivet Washers are designed to provide a secure connection between two materials, often metal, by using an expansion-type fastener. Rivet Washers come in many different sizes, shapes, and materials.
Types of Rivet Washers
Pop rivet washers are the most commonly used type of rivet washer. They are made from aluminum or steel and feature a small head that can be pressed into the material being joined. These washers can also be made with rubber or plastic for added insulation or vibration dampening. Other types of rivets include blind rivets, self-clinching nuts, and solid rivets.
How Rivet Washers are Made
Rivet Washers are typically manufactured using cold forging techniques which involve pressing heated metal between two dies to create the desired shape. This process is used because it produces consistent parts with minimal waste material. The strength of the finished product depends on the quality of raw materials used as well as the precision of the manufacturing process.
