Fastener SuperStore, Inc. Blind Rivet 218153

5/32 X .12-.18 (#53) Aluminum / Aluminum Blind Rivets An aluminum blind fastener which has a self-contained mechanical feature (a mandrel) which permits the formation of an upset on the blind end of the rivet and expansion of the rivet shank during rivet setting to join the component parts of an assembly. The aluminum mandrel is pulled into or against the rivet body, breaking at or near the junction of the mandrel shank and its upset end. The dome head is slightly rounded and twice as wide as the body diameter. Dome head is the most commonly specified head style because of its low profile and neat, finished appearance. Aluminum/aluminum rivets have the lowest tensile and shear values of all break mandrel rivets. They should be used when fastening materials with similar mechanical and physical properties.
