In the field of industrial manufacturing and repair, blind rivets are widely used connectors that simplify the assembly process and provide reliable connections. As a purchaser, understanding the types, advantages, applicable scenarios and how to choose the right blind rivets is essential for effectively managing the supply chain.

Blind rivets are a type of fixing consisting of a material shaft and a cap, usually used to connect material surfaces. Their characteristic is that they only need to be operated from one side during installation, and the other side does not need to be touched. This design makes blind rivets very useful in situations where they cannot be accessed from both sides at the same time, such as connecting the back of a sheet or component.

Types of Blind Rivets
Standard blind rivets: The most common type, suitable for general assembly tasks.
Structural blind rivets: Used in applications that require higher strength and durability, such as vehicles and construction.
Sealed blind rivets: Provide additional waterproofing and sealing functions, suitable for installation in outdoor environments or wet conditions.

Advantages of blind rivets
Simplified installation: No back access is required, reducing the time and complexity during installation.
Applicable to a variety of materials: Can connect a variety of materials such as metals, plastics, composites, etc.
Cost-effectiveness: Blind rivets are generally less expensive and more efficient to install than other fasteners.

Consider the following factors when selecting blind rivets:

Material type and thickness: Make sure the size and material of the blind rivet match the material being joined.

Load requirements: Choose the appropriate type based on the strength and durability required of the joint.

Environmental conditions: If used in a humid or hot environment, choose blind rivets with waterproof or corrosion-resistant properties.

Application scenarios
Blind rivets are widely used in the following fields:

Automotive manufacturing: For body panel and interior assembly.

Aerospace: For rapid assembly and repair of aircraft structures.

Architecture and engineering: Join metal and plastic components for structural assembly.
