Semi Tubular Rivet Metal Hollow Rivets Brass Steel Stainless Custom

Semi tubular rivet and tubular rivets are excellent fasteners to quickly and inexpensively join work-piece materials together.  The tubular portion of the rivet may be fastened to a tight or loose (hinged assemblies) fit depending on the application.  Riveted work-pieces are most often joined together by impacting or compressing the tubular end of the rivet with a crimping die (rivet anvil). The length of the rivet shank must be long enough to pass through the work-piece with enough shank length left over for the clinching process. The tightness of the clinched joint is determined by the amount of force applied to the clinched end of the rivet and can easily be adjusted.

Plating is a surface covering in which a metal is deposited on a conductive surface. Plating has been done for hundreds of years; it is also critical for modern technology. Plating is used to decorate objects, for corrosion inhibition, to improve solderability, to harden, to improve wearability, to reduce friction, to improve paint adhesion, to alter conductivity, to improve IR reflectivity, for radiation shielding, and for other purposes. Jewelry typically uses plating to give a silver or gold finish. The thin-film deposition has plated objects as small as an atom, therefore plating finds uses in nanotechnology.
There are several plating methods and many variations. In one method, a solid surface is covered with a metal sheet, and then heat and pressure are applied to fuse them (a version of this is Sheffield plate). Other plating techniques include electroplating, vapor deposition under vacuum, and sputter deposition. Recently, plating often refers to using liquids. Metallizing refers to coating metal on non-metallic objects.
