Rivets
FSC 5320: Rivets
Federal Supply Class (FSC) 5320 covers rivets, the permanent fasteners that join metal parts by mechanical upset. The catalog includes rivets built to NAS, AN, MS, and MIL-SPEC specifications.
Rivets create strong, permanent joints in airframes, structures, and sheet metal. They are widely used where a non-removable, fatigue-resistant joint is needed.
Common types include solid, blind, and structural rivets in many head styles. Materials include aluminum, steel, monel, and titanium selected for strength and corrosion resistance.
