Fastener SuperStore, Inc. Blind Rivet 372613

3/16 X .12-.25 (#64) Stainless Steel / Steel Countersunk Head Blind Rivets A blind fastener with a self-contained carbon steel mandrel which permits the formation of an upset on the blind end of the rivet and expansion of the rivet shank during rivet setting. The steel mandrel is pulled into or against the rivet body, breaking at or near the junction of the mandrel shank and its upset end. The head of the rivet body is countersunk at an angle of 120°. The countersunk head style provides a smooth offside surface and sufficient clearance for moving parts which pass over the rivet head. Aluminum rivets are the most lightweight of the three varieties profiled here, offer resistance to corrosion, but have the lowest tensile and shear values. Steel rivets have superior tensile and shear strength compared to aluminum, are less expensive than stainless rivets, but are less resistant to corrosion than either aluminum or stainless. Stainless rivets offer both corrosion resistance as well as the highest shear and tensile values.
