Rivet

NOWARUN produces custom stamped rivets manufactured directly to your drawing dimensions and material specifications. We form rivets from carbon steel, stainless steel, and copper, with surface plating options including zinc and nickel. Parts are custom-made rather than selected from standard hardware stock, offering a sample turnaround of 3 to 7 working days and volume production within 10 to 15 working days for orders starting at 1000 pieces.

Why This Part

Key Benefits

  • Formed to your exact print dimensions rather than limited by catalogue standard sizes
  • Sample lead time of 3 to 7 working days for rapid prototyping and dimensional fit checks
  • Volume production delivered within 10 to 15 working days to maintain tight assembly line schedules
  • Choice of carbon steel, stainless steel, or copper to match application mechanical demands
  • Protective surface finishes including zinc plating and nickel plating for corrosion control
  • Compliant with ROHS and SGS standards for export and clean manufacturing requirements

Problems It Solves

  • Standard catalogue rivets fail to provide the exact shank length, grip range, or head diameter needed
  • Fasteners corrode prematurely in service due to improper or unverified surface plating treatments
  • Assembly lines face delayed production runs caused by extended supplier lead times on volume hardware
  • Sourcing teams encounter high minimum order requirements when looking for non-standard rivet sizes

Who It Is For

  • Procurement managers sourcing production volumes of custom hardware to replace standard components
  • Design engineers developing sheet metal assemblies with non-standard shank lengths or head geometries
  • Contract fabricators needing matched fasteners with zinc or nickel plating to meet print requirements
  • Original equipment manufacturers managing volume hardware orders with minimums from 1000 pieces

Application Scenarios

  • Sheet metal assemblies requiring permanent mechanical fasteners sized to custom hole dimensions
  • Electrical components needing solid copper rivets for reliable structural and conductive fastening
  • Corrosion-exposed outdoor machinery fastening where stainless steel or plated rivets are required
  • Automated or manual manufacturing lines needing consistent rivet geometries across volume batches
  • Custom structural fabrications where off-the-shelf fasteners do not meet head style or shank lengths

Technical Features

  • Cold heading and stamping to customer-supplied detailed drawings and dimensions
  • Carbon steel, stainless steel, and copper material options available per print
  • Protective surface treatments including zinc plating and nickel plating
  • Material and process compliance verified through SGS and ROHS standards
  • Export-ready bulk packaging in PE bags, brown cartons, and pallets

Materials

  • Carbon steel for standard structural fastening and assemblies requiring secondary plating
  • Stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and strength in exposed environments
  • Copper for electrical conductivity, specialized thermal properties, or decorative fastening
  • Customer-specified metallic grades per detailed fabrication drawings

How It Is Made

  1. 1

    Review of detailed customer drawings, dimensions, and specified metal alloy grade

  2. 2

    Tooling setup and stamping or cold-forming of rivet blanks to the required dimensions

  3. 3

    Surface treatment processing including zinc plating or nickel plating

  4. 4

    Quality inspection against dimensional tolerances and plating requirements

  5. 5

    Packing into PE bags, brown cartons, and pallets for secure volume transport

Quality Control

  • Dimensional verification of head diameter, shank length, and body profile against the print
  • Plating layer verification for consistent zinc or nickel surface coverage
  • Inspection to verify adherence to stated ROHS and SGS requirements
  • Batch lot sampling before final packaging into sealed PE bags and cartons

Customization Options

  • Formed to customer-specified shank diameters, grip lengths, and head configurations
  • Material selection tailored across carbon steel, stainless steel, and copper
  • Plating options specified per application, including zinc plating and nickel plating
  • Packaging configurations adapted to customer assembly line demands, bags, cartons, or pallets

Compared With the Alternatives

AlternativeHonest trade off
Standard off-the-shelf rivetsCustom rivets match non-standard holes and grip ranges exactly, but require a production lead time of 10 to 15 working days
Threaded screws and nutsRivets create a permanent tamper-resistant joint that resists loosening from vibration, though they cannot be disassembled without destruction
Welded jointsRiveting joins dissimilar metals such as copper to steel without thermal distortion, though it requires pre-drilled or punched holes

Use Guide

  • Provide engineering drawings indicating shank diameter, length, head style, and material grade
  • Specify your required surface treatment such as zinc plating or nickel plating for quote accuracy
  • Review and approve sample parts delivered within the 3 to 7 working day prototype window
  • Confirm hole dimensions and clearance tolerances on your mating parts before clinching
  • Ensure appropriate installation tools are matched to the specific rivet head and shank size
