Rivets, apart from being among the most widely used industrial fasteners, have a surprisingly long and rich history. Some evidence indicate that they have been used as far back as the Bronze Age, and they undoubtedly came a long way since then. Modern rivets hardly resemble their prehistoric counterparts however the primary function has always remained the same – they hold things together. For the large portion of the 20th century rivets have been essential for heavy steel construction, used as permanent mechanical fastener in bridge, railroad, marine and industrial assembly.
Nowadays rivets are produced in a variety of types, shapes and sizes, from different materials and for a great number of applications. Here at SD Products we offer a range that should satisfy most our customers:
