The Shop Head size should generally fall within this table. Made of heat-treated aluminum, these rivets meet MIL-C- 5541. This is general information and may vary greatly depending upon the application. Conductivity: Aluminum exhibits good thermal and electrical conductivity. This chart is a guide to help determine how much a solid rivet should be squeezed.Nonmagnetic & nonsparking: Aluminum solid rivets are nonmagnetic and nonsparking, making them ideal for electronics and related applications and for use in potentially explosive environments.If you have any additional questions, please contact us at or 80.
